> The U.S. Senate on Friday approved dozens of government nominees put forward by President Donald Trump. The confirmations included several high-profile ambassadorial choices and senior State Department posts. Some of those positions had remained vacant for months. The votes therefore filled gaps across the U.S. diplomatic corps.
