Last Tuesday, the US Senate confirmed the appointment of Hershel Walker as the next American ambassador to The Bahamas.
“Well, that was a relief,”
said a prominent Bahamian with close ties to business and politics in the US, regarding the confirmation. The absence of an American ambassador in residence for over 14 years was perceived as an insult by many. However, it is understood that special circumstances led to this situation, and it was not intended as a slight to The Bahamas.
“this nomination bodes well for our wonderful nation”
wrote a contributor to this newspaper when US President Donald Trump announced Walker's nomination. The appointment of Hershel Walker is seen as a positive development.
