President of the United States Donald Trump has nominated lawyer John Coale for the post of Washington's special envoy to Belarus. The politician wrote this in his social network Truth Social.
"He [Coale] has already successfully negotiated the release of 100 Hostages, and is going for an additional 50. I would like to thank, in advance, the Highly Respected president of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, for his consideration on the release of these additional people," wrote the head of the US.
Coale is one of Trump's attorneys, who is now deputy of special envoy for Ukraine, Keith Kellogg.
In this capacity, Coale has already participated in negotiations with the Belarusian dictator. For example, in June, he visited Minsk with Kellogg and managed to release 14 political prisoners, including one of the leaders of the protest movement, the husband of the head of the Belarusian opposition in exile Sergei Tikhanovsky.
