Kit Bond: “I would say to my friend from Tennessee, it was a great idea.”

We thought it was of significant historical value.

I am humbled by the honorable mission President Biden, Vice President Harris, and Secretary Blinken have asked me to take on as Ambassador to Trinidad and Tobago.

I would humbly suggest that you put more, not less, in the force structure for the Guard, which is a bargain for our military defense.

I pledge to dedicate my skills and energy to strengthen our diplomatic and economic ties to Trinidad and Tobago to advance U.S. interests in the world and to promote American democratic values.
