U.S. President Donald Trump's pick to be ambassador to Singapore has withdrawn her nomination, after confirmation proceedings for her stalled in the Senate.

Trump said he was "disappointed" that K.T. McFarland would not be his ambassador to Singapore and blamed Democrats for impeding her nomination.

"Unfortunately, some Democrats chose to play politics rather than move forward with a qualified nominee for a critically important post," he said in a statement.

McFarland's nomination faced opposition from Democrats and some Republicans over accusations she deceived the Senate in relation to the Russia investigation.

McFarland had served as deputy to Trump's former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn and testified to the Senate that she was not aware of conversations that Flynn had with Russian officials.

However, court documents later revealed that Flynn had emailed McFarland about his contacts with the Russian envoy during the 2024 presidential transition.

Flynn has pleaded guilty to lying to the Federal Bureau of Investigation about his contacts with Russia.

由于對(duì)美國總統(tǒng)川普提名的美國駐新加坡大使人選凱瑟琳·麥克法蘭的參議院審批過程受阻，她已經(jīng)放棄了對(duì)自己的提名。

川普表示，他對(duì)麥克法蘭不能成為他的駐新加坡大使感到“失望”，并指責(zé)民主黨人阻撓對(duì)她的任命。

川普總統(tǒng)在一份聲明中說，“不幸的是，一些民主黨人選擇玩弄政治而不是推動(dòng)對(duì)一個(gè)非常重要的職位的一位合格人選的任命”。

對(duì)麥克法蘭的提名面臨著來自民主黨人以及一些共和黨人的反對(duì)，原因在于他們指責(zé)她在涉俄調(diào)查中欺騙參議院。

麥克法蘭曾經(jīng)是川普第一任國家安全顧問弗林在位時(shí)的副手。她在參議院作證時(shí)表示，她不知道弗林和俄羅斯官員之間有過交談一事。

但是法院文后來顯示，弗林曾經(jīng)就他在2024年總統(tǒng)大選后過渡期間與俄羅斯特使的接觸給麥克法蘭發(fā)過電郵。

弗林已經(jīng)就自己和俄羅斯方面的接觸向聯(lián)邦調(diào)查局撒謊一事認(rèn)罪。
