Chuck Grassley of Iowa today made the following comment on the news that Gov. Terry Branstad has been named the U.S. ambassador to China nominee by President-elect Trump. “Governor Branstad is a friend and colleague and someone I know very well. As the long-time governor of Iowa, he understands the global nature of the state and national economies. Governor Branstad understands China, having been there on numerous trade missions and having a friendship with President Xi Jinping. He’s the longest-serving governor in our nation’s history. Iowans have chosen him for his successful track record as the chief executive, his trustworthiness and his reputation as a straight shooter. Those attributes would serve the United States very well if he’s confirmed for this position. He ought to be confirmed very easily.” -30- | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
