🇺🇸🌍 US Senate clears seven Trump ambassador nominees for Africa posts

The US Senate approved seven of President Donald Trump’s ambassador nominees in one of its final acts before recessing until after the 3 November mid-term elections. The nominations, pushed through on 2 October 2026 while bypassing the usual Senate Foreign Relations Committee process, cover postings in Benin, Cabo Verde, Gabon, Kenya, Malawi, Sierra Leone and Togo.

The nominees are career diplomats and are expected to take up their posts soon. The approvals came as Washington moved to fill multiple diplomatic positions in Africa ahead of the election recess.
