Grenell, who served as the U.S. Ambassador to Germany from May 2018 to June 2020, made history by becoming the first openly gay person to be appointed as a U.S. Ambassador to a G-7 country. Additionally, during his tenure as Ambassador to Germany, Grenell played a significant role in advocating for the Trump administration’s foreign policy objectives, particularly in areas such as NATO defense spending and economic relations between the United States and Germany.
