The following is a preview of Daily Signal Politics Editor Bradley Devlin’s interview with Jeremy Carl, President Donald Trump’s nominee for Assistant Secretary of the Bureau of International Organization Affairs at the State Department, on “The Signal Sitdown.” The full interview premieres on The Daily Signal’s YouTube page at 6:30 a.m. Eastern on Feb. 18.

Last week, Jeremy Carl, President Donald Trump’s nominee for Assistant Secretary of the Bureau of International Organization Affairs at the Department of State testified on his nomination in front of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Carl has spent the better part of the last year of his life pursuing this State Department post, at great personal and professional expense. And, fresh off of the hearing in which Senate Democrats sought to destroy his reputation, Carl joined “The Signal Sitdown.”

Carl was nominated to be Assistant Secretary of the Bureau of International Organization Affairs at the Department of State in June of 2025.

While he previously served in the first Trump administration in the Department of the Interior, he has been tapped for the foreign policy role due to his experience working on multilateral foreign policy issues. For a decade, he was a research fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution, working under former President Ronald Reagan’s Secretary of State George Shultz.

Eight months later, Carl is still waiting to be confirmed to a role that would put him at the nexus of American foreign policy and international organizations like the United Nations.

Carl explains what’s wrong with organizations like the United Nations, why international bureaucrats are willing to turn a blind eye, and what America can do to ensure its interests are protected in these forums.

Democrats in Washington have also been willing to turn a blind eye to the issues plaguing these international organizations, and they were not very interested in unpacking those issues at Carl’s hearing last week.

Instead, Democrats on the committee turned the hearing into a hullabaloo by repeatedly accusing Carl of racism, sexism, Antisemitism, and a grab-bag of other forms of bigotry. At several instances, these Democrat senators would make these accusations without asking him a question or give him an opportunity to defend himself. When they did ask him questions, they would simply cut him off before he could fully answer.

Carl responds to the effort to tarnish his character and takes “The Signal Sitdown” inside the Senate confirmation process like few can.
