Trump’s pick for top diplomatic role faces scrutiny over ‘white supremacist’ views

Donald Trump's nominee for assistant secretary of state for international organisations, Jeremy Carl, is set to face scrutiny before the Senate foreign relations committee on Thursday. Carl, from Montana, has made inflammatory remarks on social media and in public statements, including expressing sympathy for white supremacist theories and making derogatory comments about racial and ethnic groups. He has also described Juneteenth as "race hustling and white-shaming" and called for the prosecution of individuals accused of political crimes. The Senate has previously confirmed several Trump nominees with extremist views, but Carl's remarks may be more contentious than those of previous nominees. Carl's nomination is raising concerns among Democrats about his suitability for a top diplomatic role. His hearing on Thursday will likely focus on these issues and his qualifications for the position.
