Branstad Selected as China Ambassador Amid Trade Ties
Iowa Governor Terry Branstad will resign to become the U.S. ambassador to China after Trump nominates him. Branstad has built deep ties with Xi Jinping since 1985 and led six trade missions to China, with Iowa exporting 1.4 billion dollars in 2015. Experts say he will shift from promoting Iowa to handling broader U.S. China diplomacy. U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and others praise his qualifications and long-running relationship with China.
