United States President Donald Trump has nominated career diplomat Henry Wooster, a former ambassador to Jordan with extensive experience in Central Asia and the Middle East, to be the next US ambassador to Kenya, ending a 19-month vacancy at one of Washington’s most strategic diplomatic missions in Africa.
