For representation before the OAS, Trump pointed to businessman Leandro Rizzuto, a major donor to the Republican’s campaign who for several years ran the small appliance and personal hygiene company Conair, founded by Rizzuto’s father.
During his first term (2017-2021), Trump nominated Rizzuto as ambassador to Barbados but did not achieve Senate ratification and ended up appointing him to a diplomatic position in Bermuda that did not require the approval of the Upper House.
