MOSCOW (Reuters) - Reports that Jon Huntsman will become the next U.S. ambassador to Russia stirred anxiety in Moscow on Thursday, with one politician calling him a hawk and pro-Kremlin media recalling what they said was his worrying history of hostile rhetoric.
An official in U.S. President Donald Trump's administration said on Wednesday that Huntsman, a one-time Republican presidential candidate and ambassador to China and Singapore, had accepted Trump's offer to represent the United States in Moscow, a move that needs Senate confirmation.
