Malaysia Rejects US Envoy Pick Nick Adams: “Not Welcome Here”
The Trump administration’s nomination of Nick Adams as the next US ambassador to Malaysia has ignited controversy, with critics expressing concern over the decision. Adams, known for inflammatory remarks and controversial views, including Islamophobic statements, has drawn ire from Malaysian officials. Many view the appointment as prioritizing political loyalty over diplomatic expertise, especially given Malaysia’s support for Palestinian rights. One official from the ruling coalition has condemned Adams as an “extreme right-wing propagandist” whose rhetoric contradicts mature diplomatic relations.
