President Trump has nominated Kimberly Greenwood, wife of singer Lee Greenwood, to serve as the U.S. ambassador to Barbados and several other Caribbean nations. Her nomination, along with others for various government positions, was sent to the Senate for confirmation. If confirmed, Kimberly Greenwood will also represent the U.S. in Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
