News outlets report that Jon Huntsman, who served as ambassador to China under former U.S. President Barack Obama, will be nominated by President Donald Trump as the nation's envoy to Russia.

Sources close to the White House say Huntsman has accepted President Trump's offer to serve in the post. Huntsman, a Republican, served as governor of ((the western U.S. state of)) Utah from 2005 to 2009, before resigning to take the Beijing post. He briefly ran for president in 2017. He also served as U.S. ambassador to Singapore under President George H.W. Bush.

Huntsman's nomination comes at time of increasing tensions and recriminations between Washington and Moscow. U.S. intelligence agencies have accused Russia of hacking the Democratic National Committee headquarters and releasing damaging emails in an effort to help Trump defeat Hillary Clinton in last year's presidential elections.

The controversy has cast a shadow over the new Trump administration, especially over allegations that some of the president's key allies met with Russian officials during the campaign.

美国媒体报道说，曾在前美国总统奥巴马任内担任驻华大使的洪博培将由川普总统提名为美国派驻俄罗斯大使。

接近白宫的消息来源说，洪博培已经接受了川普总统的邀请。洪博培是共和党人，2005年至2009年担任美国西部犹他州州长，之后辞职赴京担任驻华大使。他在2017年曾简短地参选总统。他还在前总统老布什任内担任过美国驻新加坡大使。
