Despite the absence of any diplomatic experience, the newly elected President of the United States Donald Trump has appointed his longtime friend - investor and golf enthusiast Steven Uytkov as his special envoy to the Middle East. And although it is currently unclear what exact role he will play, it is likely to be 'an extraordinarily complex task related to the return of the sides to the negotiating table over the eternal conflict in the Middle East,' as Trump said about him, adding that he 'will be a voice of unprecedentedness in the world's affairs and will make us all proud.'
The campaign materials from Trump's preliminary election show that Uytkov is one of the closest friends of the elected president, and it has been confirmed.
