The US Senate has confirmed President Donald Trump's nominee Matt Whitaker to be the US ambassador to NATO, at a time of growing concern about Washington’s commitment to the defence alliance.
Having served in the Justice Department during Trump's first administration, Whitaker comes to the role with a background in law enforcement rather than foreign policy or national security.
He was confirmed along party lines by a 52-45 vote.
