The White House announced Tuesday evening President Donald Trump wants former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman to be the next U. S. ambassador to Russia. If he clears Senate confirmation, Huntsman would become a key diplomat to the Russians amid investigations into alleged election meddling and potential collusion between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin. Huntsman, 57, served as governor of Utah from 2005 to 2009. He ran unsuccessfully for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012.
