The current chairman is Eric Chu. The KMT is one of two major historical contemporary parties in China, the other being the Chinese Communist Party…     more

Ambassador to the United States

Nomination and confirmation
Antonov is considered a hardliner against the West, earning him a reputation as a “bull terrier."[9] In early autumn 2016, he was considered to be the next Russian Ambassador to the United States as the Kremlin assumed that Hillary Clinton would win the presidential election and, therefore, bilateral relations would remain strained. However, despite the fact that Donald Trump won the election, Antonov was still chosen to take over the post from Sergey Kislyak, who had been the ambassador since 2008. In February 2017, Antonov was named the main candidate for this post.[10][11] On 11 May 2017, the Russian Foreign Ministry formally submitted Antonov to the Federal Assembly,[12] which voted to endorse him as ambassador on 18 May following a closed session of the State Duma’s foreign policy committee.[13][14][15]

On 21 August 2017, Vladimir Putin formally appointed Antonov as the Ambassador of Russia to the United States by presidential decree.[16][17]

Term
Antonov was recalled to Moscow on 17 March 2021 after US President Joe Biden called Putin a “killer." On 1 April, after consultations with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the diplomatic corps announced that Antonov was officially under ambassadorial recall until further notice. The decision to return Antonov to Washington, D.C. was made following the results of the 2021 Russia–United States summit.[18]
