U.S. President-elect Donald Trump said on Monday he was picking George Glass, a former investment banker and diplomat notable for his criticisms of China , to serve as his ambassador to Japan .
During his 2017-2021 stint in Lisbon, Glass gained prominence for warning against Beijing's investments in strategic sectors in Portugal and its mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Among Japan's fears about Trump's return are whether he will push Tokyo to pay more towards that U.S. military presence or adopt protectionist trade measures that could hurt Japanese firms.
Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba failed in an attempt to get a meeting with Trump last month. Trump said on Monday he was open to meeting Ishiba before he takes office on Jan. 20.
