It is the honor of a lifetime to accept President Trump’s nomination to serve as the next United States Ambassador to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Having served in the region both in combat as an Army officer and for two years as a diplomatic liaison in the Kingdom, I understand the strategic importance of the partnership between the United States and Saudi Arabia and the profound responsibility of this position.
Service has always defined my life.
My immediate family has given more than sixty years to our military.
My brother, sister, and I graduated from West Point, served in combat, and, at one point, were all deployed to Iraq simultaneously.
I am deeply grateful to President Trump for his confidence in me. When confirmed, I will serve with humility and honor, advance his vision of peace through strength and deepen this vital partnership.
Did you know that the Clock Tower in Makkah is actually a waqf? Meaning the revenue generated from the hotels and properties goes back to serving Masjid al-Haram and the millions of pilgrims who come to Makkah every year.
This is something a lot of people may not know. The purpose behind this project wasn’t just to build hotels and make money. It was established as a waqf so that the revenue continues to benefit the Haram 🕋 and the Muslims for generations to come. May Allah have mercy on the leaders who established it and reward them for the good that continues from it.
