What does he know about diplomatic process, absolutely nothing. Foreign service officers are the most needed and qualified.

The sudthu Reddthe says it all. Absolutely useless having an embassy in Cuba. We are Bankrupt, so is Cuba. Our trade with Cuba cannot support an embassy.

This does not make sense, is this a retirement package? Where are the foreign service employees? The high post committee cleared this gentleman based on what criteria?

Most of the officers sent as ambassadors to foreign countries have a gala time time spending public money for their wives and families and some even business's. The government should have some regulation on their expenses and have a report call every month.
