A longtime Republican National Committee member from Indiana County, who was twice unsuccessfully nominated for an ambassadorship during the first Trump administration, will get a third chance for the job. President-elect Donald Trump is nominating Christine Toretti, to be the next ambassador to Sweden. Trump nominated Toretti to be ambassador to Malta in both 2019 and 2020, but in both years her nomination was returned to the president without the narrowly GOP-controlled Senate acting on it. Toretti is the first Pennsylvanian to be nominated for an ambassadorship in Trump’s new administration.
