Trump announces picks for ambassadorships to combat antisemitism and promote religious freedom

President Donald Trump announced a handful of nominations and appointments Thursday, including a position to combat antisemitism. 

Trump selected Yehuda Kaploun, a prominent Miami-based businessman and longtime confidant of the president, to serve as the U.S. special envoy to monitor and combat antisemitism as an ambassador-at-large.

"Yehuda is a successful businessman, and staunch advocate for the Jewish Faith and the Rights of his people to live and worship free from persecution," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.
