NBC News reports:
President-elect Donald Trump said Thursday that former Sen. David Perdue, R-Ga., had agreed to be nominated to be the next U.S. ambassador to China. Trump started a trade war with China during his first term and has vowed to impose tariffs of 60% or more on all Chinese goods imported in his next one.
Perdue, 74, a former management consultant, was a Republican senator from Georgia from 2015 to 2021. He served on the Foreign Relations and Armed Services committees. He lost to Democrat Jon Ossoff in a runoff after the 2020 general election.
In 2022, he ran for governor after Trump recruited him to challenge Republican Gov. Brian Kemp, who refused to help Trump overturn Georgia’s election results in 2020, when the state voted for Biden. Perdue lost to Kemp in the Republican primary by more than 50 percentage points.
