U.S. President Donald Trump has nominated Michelle Park Steel, a former Korean American congresswoman from California, as the US ambassador to South Korea. The post has been vacant for more than a year since former Ambassador Philip Goldberg departed in January last year. If confirmed by the Senate, she would become the second Korean American to hold the position, following Sung Kim from 2011 to 2014.
