Kay    Bailey Hutchison of Texas to be the next NATO ambassador, the    White House announced on Thursday.  <\/p>\n<p>    Hutchison, 73, served in the Senate for 20 years until she    decided not to run in 2012.  <\/p>\n<p>    Story Continued Below  <\/p>\n<p>    Hutchison's nomination to be the U.S. representative to the    military alliance comes amid scrutiny of the organization from    Trump. The president demanded in May that NATO member nations    meet commitments to spend at least 2 percent of gross domestic    product on defense, saying that failure to do so is unfair to    U.S. taxpayers.  <\/p>\n<p>    Trump had also been slow to announce support for Article 5 of    the North Atlantic Treaty, which guarantees that all member    nations will come to the aid of any member that has been    attacked. The president publicly voiced his support weeks after his speech    to NATO members in May.  <\/p>\n<p>    Richard Grenell, a prominent Trump supporter and former United    Nations official, was previously reported to be the front-runner for the    NATO ambassador job. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, however,    was said to prefer Hutchison for the role.<\/p>\n<p>            Missing out on the latest scoops?
