WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump has nominated a North Carolina Republican, physician and former diplomat as the next U.S. ambassador to Canada.

The White House says Aldona Z. Wos, who is currently the vice-chair of the President’s Commission on White House Fellowships, has been named to the post, which has been vacant since August.

That’s when then-ambassador Kelly Craft departed Ottawa to become the U.S. envoy to the United Nations.

Wos has a long resume that includes working as a physician specializing in internal medicine and pulmonary care as well as being the U.S. ambassador to Estonia.
