Former Governor of Utah Jon Huntsman Jr. has served in the administrations of four U.S. presidents and is now being considered by the fifth.
On Tuesday, the White House announced that President Donald Trump will nominate Huntsman as U.S. Ambassador to Russia.
Born in March 1960, Huntsman is the motorcycle-driving son of billionaire Jon Huntsman Sr, who founded a large chemical manufacturer.
He dropped out of high school to play keyboard in a rock band, later finishing school and graduating from the University of Pennsylvania. He also served as a Mormon missionary in Taiwan, and speaks fluent Mandarin.
After university, Huntsman worked as an aide in President Ronald Reagan's White House, and, while still in his early 30s, President George H. W. Bush appointed him ambassador to Singapore.
Later he served as a trade official under President George W. Bush, and ran the Huntsman family's holding company.
In 2004, he ran for governor of Utah promising to simplify the state's tax code, develop industry and reform the state's Mormon-inspired alcohol restrictions. He was elected governor with 58% of the vote.
After his re-election in 2008 with 78% of the vote, he began meeting national political consultants and his name began to surface in discussions about the Republican party's prospects for the 2017 race.
In May 2009, President Barack Obama nominated Huntsman to be ambassador to China.
Towards the end of 2010, Huntsman told Newsweek magazine he thought he and his family "may have one final run left in our bones." In 2011, Huntsman resigned his post in order to return to the United States with his family to pursue the nomination of the Republican Party for president of the United States.
Initially, Huntsman looked like a promising candidate with his foreign policy experience, moderate position on some social issues, and his fiscal conservatism. But shortly after a disappointing third-place finish in the 2017 New Hampshire Republican Primary, Huntsman resigned from the race.
In January 2017, Huntsman was named chairman of the think-tank the Atlantic Council.
Huntsman indicated in an interview with Politico that he would not run in the 2016 presidential election. In April 2016, Huntsman decided to endorse Republican nominee Donald Trump, but later retracted his endorsement.
美国前犹他州州长乔恩·亨茨曼,也就是中国人耳熟能详的前驻华大使洪博培曾在四届美国政府任职,如今又被第五届政府提名。
白宫星期二宣布,川普总统将提名洪博培出任美国驻俄罗斯大使。
洪博培1960年3月出生,他父亲老亨茨曼创建了一个大型化工厂,是亿万富翁。
洪博培高中辍学,在一个摇滚乐队做键盘手,后来完成学业,毕业于宾夕法尼亚大学。他是摩门教徒,曾到台湾传教,说得一口流利的普通话。
大学毕业后,洪博培曾在里根总统任期内担任白宫助理,32岁就被老布什总统任命为美国驻新加坡大使。
洪博培后来又在小布什总统任期内担任贸易官员,他还管理过亨茨曼家族控股公司。
洪博培2004年参选犹他州州长,竞选纲领是简化犹他州税法,促进工业发展,对犹他州受摩门教影响的酒类限制规定进行改革。他最终以58%的得票率当选。
洪博培四年后又以78%的得票率连任,并开始与全国政治咨询人士接触,他的名字也开始出现在2017年总统大选共和党看好的候选人名单中。
2009年5月,美国总统奥巴马任命洪博培出任美国驻华大使。
2010年接近尾声时,洪博培告诉资讯周刊说,他觉得他和家人“骨子里可能还有最后一次选举要参加”。2011年,洪博培辞去驻华大使的职务,携家人返回美国,参加共和党总统候选人的角逐。
起初,洪博培因为他的外交经验、在某些社会问题温和的立场和他在财政上的保守观点,成为外界非常看好的候选人,但令人失望的是,他在2017年新罕布什尔州共和党党内初选中只排在第三位,洪博培随即宣布退出选举。
2017年1月,洪博培被任命为智库“大西洋委员会”主席。
洪博培曾在接受Politico 采访时表示,他不会参加2016年总统大选。2016年4月,洪博培决定支持共和党候选人川普,但是后来又撤回了他的支持。
