A former diplomat and television commentator is expected to be nominated as the United States' ambassador to Germany.

Richard Grennel is President Donald Trump's choice for the post, according to a person with knowledge of the expected nomination. That person requested anonymity to discuss a matter before it was announced.

A White House spokeswoman said yesterday that nothing official was finalised.

Grennel was a long-serving spokesman for the United States at the United Nations during former President George W. Bush's administration. He also appears as a foreign affairs commentator on Fox News Channel.

He would be the first LGBT ambassador nominee for Trump. The Berlin posting is a high-profile assignment as observers closely scrutinise relations between Trump and German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
