U.S. Ambassador to China Terry Branstad will soon arrive in Beijing. Formerly the governor of Iowa, Ambassador Branstad is the longest-serving governor in American history having served a cumulative twenty-two years. Ambassador Branstad noted on June 21 that, “For a farm kid from Iowa, my life's ambition was to serve the people as governor.  I never imagined in my wildest dreams that President Trump would ask me to represent all of the United States of America in China.  I will do my very best. I am honored and proud to represent the United States of America and President Trump in the People's Republic of China.”  In advance of his arrival, Ambassador Branstad recorded a video message for the Chinese people.
