The US ambassador to Estonia abruptly announced his resignation and cited President Trump's public criticism of the EU and NATO as a major factor in his decision , reports Foreign Policy . James Melville, a 33-year-old diplomat and ambassador to Estonia since 2015, reportedly planned to retire in the near future, but told his friends that Trump's remarks had pushed him to leave the post earlier. "The fact that the president says that the EU was created to profit from the US, attack our piggy bank, or that NATO is as bad as NAFTA is not only fake, but proves me that it's time to go, "Melville wrote in a private Facebook post, according to the report. A spokesman for the state department confirmed Melville's resignation, telling Politico that his last day would be July 29. "I am willing and grateful to be able to serve my country with integrity for many years, and with confidence this America has always been, very well, one day to be right," he writes.
