Irwin Steven Goldstein
is a former American government official and businessman who served as Assistant
to the
Secretary of the Interior and Director of Public Affairs during the Bush
Administration and
Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs at the
State Department during the Trump Administration. He is also a former
Dow Jones and Company Vice President, running global communications for Dow
Jones and
The Wall Street Journal.[4][5]
President
Donald
Trump nominated Goldstein to
Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs, the
State Department’s top official that "leads America's public diplomacy
outreach" by "informing and influencing foreign publics and by expanding and
strengthening the relationship between the people and Government of the United
States and citizens of the rest of the world," according to the department.
Goldstein was unanimously confirmed by the Senate,[13]
and he was sworn into position on December 4, 2017.[6][14]

Shortly after President Trump dismissed
Secretary of State
Rex
Tillerson on March 13, 2018, Goldstein released a statement that Tillerson
did not know why he had been fired and that Tillerson had only learned of his
firing that morning from Trump's
tweet.[15][16]
Goldstein's statement was seen as contradicting the official account of
Tillerson's dismissal, and Goldstein was fired from his position.[15][16]
According to
Axios, Goldstein was disliked in the White House "and seen as openly
anti-Trump."[17]
