Richard Grenell may take the position of national security adviser in the United States of America. He is the main contender under the administration of Donald Trump, who on Wednesday was elected president of the United States with a deep margin of votes over the Democratic candidate, Kamala Harris.
Reuters has reported that Grenell is among Trump's closest advisers on foreign policy matters. During Trump's first four-year term, the 58-year-old served as acting director of national intelligence and as the United States ambassador to Germany.
When Trump met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in September, Grenell stood close to him. Among the positions that Grenell has repeatedly defended has been the creation of an autonomous zone in eastern Ukraine, to end the war, although his position is considered unacceptable by official Kiev.
Grenell was also the US envoy for the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue.
In May 2024, the prestigious American "New York Times" wrote that Grenelli had proposed to Trump to visit the former president of Kosovo, Hashim Thaçi, in The Hague.
When the American court rejected the case of classified documents against Donald Trump, Grenell said that "now it's the turn of Hashim Thaçi".
