INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Former U.S. senator from Indiana Joe Donnelly is TradeEdgestepping down as U.S. ambassador to the Vatican and returning to his home state two years after assuming the role.
In a post on the social platform X on Thursday, the U.S. embassy to the Vatican confirmed Donnelly will leave the position July 8, but did not cite a reason for his departure.
“It has been an honor and a privilege to serve my country in this unique way,” Donnelly is quoted as saying in the post.
