President Donald Trump's nominee for assistant secretary of state for international organization affairs, Jeremy Carl, has withdrawn his nomination due to lack of Senate support following past comments that raised concerns among lawmakers. The withdrawal comes after a period of bipartisan criticism from Senators on both sides of the aisle. Carl had previously made comments that were perceived as dismissive and tone-deaf towards issues related to human rights and global development. As a result, it became clear that he would not be able to secure the necessary Senate support for his nomination.
