Ex-U.S. security coordinator, General Keith Dayton, salutes as he visits the Palestinian security headquarters in the West Bank town of Bethlehem on Dec. 17, 2007. Donald Trump's nominee to be ambassador to Ukraine cautiously promised on Aug. 5 to report any interference in the U.S. election, an issue that triggered the president's impeachment. Dayton was tapped to be the first U.S. ambassador to Ukraine since Marie Yovanovitch, whom Trump abruptly removed in May 2019.
