华盛顿，9月14日（路透社）——美国总统唐纳德·特朗普于周一提名得克萨斯州共和党联邦众议员韦斯利·亨特出任美国驻沙特阿拉伯大使，该职位自2025年1月特朗普开启第二任期以来一直空缺。
曾赴伊拉克和沙特阿拉伯服役的美国陆军退伍军人亨特并未寻求连任众议院席位，此前他竞选美国参议员未果。

若美国参议院批准此项提名，亨特将赴利雅得履职。当前，持续数月的针对伊朗的冲突升级引发了对更大范围冲突的担忧，也门亲伊朗的胡塞武装也已发动针对沙特阿拉伯的袭击。

WASHINGTON, Sept 14 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday nominated Texas Republican Representative Wesley Hunt to be ambassador to Saudi Arabia, which would fill a position vacant since Trump began his second term in January 2025.
Hunt, a U.S. Army veteran once deployed to Iraq and Saudi Arabia, is not running for re-election to the House, after making an unsuccessful bid for the U.S. Senate.

If his nomination is approved by the U.S. Senate, Hunt would go to Riyadh at a time when months of war on Iran have raised fears of wider conflict and Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis have launched attacks on Saudi Arabia.
