Iowa Governor Terry Branstad is not ruling out the idea he would accept an invitation to be the U.S. Ambassador to China.

Branstad spoke with reporters in Des Moines Saturday night.

 

Aside from living elsewhere while serving in the military, Branstad has spent his entire life living in Iowa. Has he envisioned living overseas?

 

Branstad’s son, Eric, was Trump’s Iowa campaign manager. The elder Branstad told reporters he’s headed to New York City in early December for long-scheduled trip to meet with business prospects for Iowa. New York City, of course, is where Trump and his transition team are headquartered. Branstad says there “may be an opportunity at that time” for him to meet with Trump’s team.
