Three Republican senators have joined their House colleagues in opposing the nomination of State Department official Rose Gottemoeller to be NATO deputy secretary general, based on her role in covering up Russian treaty violations.
Sens. Tom Cotton, Jim Risch and Marco Rubio outlined their objections to Ms. Gottemoeller, undersecretary of state for arms control and international security, in a letter to Secretary of State John F. Kerry last week.
"Our main concern with Secretary Gottemoeller’s appointment is an apparent unwillingness to keep the North Atlantic Council and individual member states apprised of key updates on Russian arms control violations associated with the Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces Treaty, her frequent public ‘misstatements’ on this topic, and her reputation as a ‘Russia apologist,’" the senators stated.
