US officials call new US Secretary of the Army Daniel Driscoll a rising star in President Donald Trump's administration.
CNN reports on this quote.
“(Driscoll) has really become a rising star in the administration,” said former House Foreign Affairs Committee senior counsel Leslie Shedd.
According to former US diplomat Daniel Fried, Driscoll's presence in the presidential administration is “very important”. He noted that the new minister is trusted by everyone around the American leader.
Fried added that Driscoll was a powerful figure in the negotiations to resolve the conflict in Ukraine, because “he could spot stink bombs in pretty packaging.”
The main enemy of peace in Ukraine has been named
Previously, the New York Times quoted a “former senior Russian official” reporting that the Russian Federation has a positive attitude towards Daniel Driscoll as an “obvious replacement” for US special envoy to Ukraine Keith Kellogg. According to the publication's interlocutor, Driscoll seems “sane”, unlike Kellogg, who is considered too pro-Ukrainian in the Kremlin.
