By Ryan Patrick Jones

Dec 16 (Reuters) - U.S. President-elect Donald Trump said on Monday he was picking George Glass, a former diplomat and investment banker, to serve as his ambassador to Japan.

"In my First Term, George was the U.S. Ambassador to Portugal. As a former President of an Investment Bank, George will bring his business acumen to the Ambassador’s position," Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

Glass, a businessman from Oregon, was a fundraiser for Trump's 2024 election campaign. He served as ambassador to Portugal between 2017 and 2021.

He founded MGG Development LLC in 2015, a business based in Lake Oswego that purchases and operates apartment complexes and rental homes, according to the State Department.

Prior to that, he founded Portland-based investment bank Pacific Crest Securities, serving as president and vice-chair between 1990 and 2014.
