President Donald Trump has chosen Illinois State Senator Kyle McCarter to be the U.S. ambassador to Kenya. The White House made the announcement, citing McCarter’s charitable efforts in the African nation.
McCarter applied for the position a year ago and he and his wife have worked in Kenya for more than 30 years with the Each One Feed One international charity, which the couple founded. The organization works with a school helping children and providing a medical clinic that serves about 15,000 people annually.
