Recall ambassadors seen as hostile to the incoming Administration

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, chapter 6, p. 174. Written by Kiron K. Skinner.

Recall ambassadors seen as hostile to the incoming Administration

The document says “shouldWho acts: Secretary of StateHow: internal managementp. 174 in the PDF
What the document says

“Ambassadors in countries where U.S. policy or posture would substantially change under the new Administration, as well as any who have evinced hostility toward the incoming Administration or its agenda, should be recalled immediately.”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 174

The chapter asks that new ambassadors who support the President's agenda be put in place, drawn from political appointees, foreign service officers and civil service personnel with no predetermined proportion, and that political ambassadors with strong personal relationships with the President be prioritized for key posts.

What the document actually says

“Ambassadors in countries where U.S. policy or posture would substantially change under the new Administration, as well as any who have evinced hostility toward the incoming Administration or its agenda, should be recalled immediately.”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 174
That sentence, in plain words

Call back any ambassador who seems against the new team. Call back those in countries where policy will change.

What this is about

An ambassador may not agree with a new president. The book says those should be called home. So should any in a country where the plan is changing.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to read this page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the book itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
