In a statement posted to Truth Social on Dec. 21, Trump unveiled Mark Burnett as his pick to serve as the Special Envoy to the United Kingdom. He praised Burnett for his “distinguished career in television production and business,” predicting that he will bring “a unique blend of diplomatic acumen and international recognition to this important role.”

Trump highlighted several television shows created by Burnett, including the reality TV program “The Apprentice” that the former president hosted before entering politics a decade ago.
