Huntsman, who was appointed by U.S. President Donald Trump in 2017, said in a resignation letter circulated by U.S. media that he was stepping down after a two-year tenure overshadowed by U.S. sanctions on Moscow and tit-for-tat diplomatic expulsions. Huntsman, who is due to leave his post on Oct. 3, said in his resignation letter that “we must continue to hold Russia accountable when its behavior threatens us and our allies.”
