Today is 70 days into Trump’s term in office, March 31, 2017. As of the 27th, his administration has appointed 6 of the 187 open ambassadorships. Don’t take my word for it, have a look at the
American Foreign Service Association’s list and see for yourself. While in most cases there are veteran diplomats at the embassies in Canada, Denmark, Egypt, Germany, India, and Mexico, for example, I guess it is good the Trump Team hasn’t fired the career diplomats.
An example of the list follows:
