US President Donald Trump nominates Natalie Baker to serve as the next US ambassador to Pakistan after a gap following the departure of the previous ambassador. Coverage across outlets says the nomination is made through the White House and is submitted to the US Senate for review.
Dawn and The Express Tribune describe Baker’s current role and the confirmation pathway. Dawn adds more detail about her previous diplomatic postings and notes she became charge d’affaires at the US embassy in Islamabad in January 2025, after arriving there as deputy chief of mission in August 2024. The Express Tribune emphasizes that, if confirmed, she would be the first US envoy to Pakistan since Donald Blome left the post in early 2025.
India Today similarly highlights the nomination, framing it around the time the role has been vacant, while using shorter wording than the Pakistan-based outlets. Overall, all reports agree on the nominee, the country posting, and the Senate-confirmation process, with differences mainly in background detail and how the vacancy is characterized.
