– Retired Army Colonel Douglas Macgregor, a regular guest on Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show, has been nominated by President Trump to be the next US ambassador to Germany, the White House announced Monday. Macgregor, who retired from the Army in 2004, has written extensively on military force design and strategy and has been a regular military expert on the show, which Trump watches frequently. If the Senate confirms Macgregor, he would be in Berlin as the US works to carry out Trump’s desire to move 9,500 US troops from Germany and relocate some in Poland, Reuters reports.
