Details: Trump announced on 9 November that Coale, who he said is "known as one of our Country's truly GREAT lawyers", is being nominated to serve as special envoy to Belarus.

Quote: "He has already successfully negotiated the release of 100 Hostages and is going for an additional 50."

More details: Trump also thanked "the Highly Respected President of Belarus", Alexander Lukashenko, in advance for considering the release of some additional detainees.

Background:

• In recent weeks, the Trump administration has sought to re-establish contact with the regime of self-proclaimed Belarusian president Alexander Lukashenko, and this has been reflected in the release of Belarusian political prisoners.
• As part of these efforts, the United States lifted sanctions on Belarusian state-owned airline Belavia.
• On 4 November, the US Treasury also eased some measures against Belarus by removing restrictions on the national airline and permitting transactions linked to Lukashenko's aircraft.
