Nominated for the post by Trump, Craft was sworn in as the 31st U.S. ambassador to Canada in July 2017. She became the first woman to hold the position.

A wealthy Republican donor, Craft and her husband, the billionaire coal executive Joseph W. Craft III, gave more than $2 million to Trump’s campaign and inauguration, The New York Times reported.

In 2017, she gave the Republican National Committee almost $17,000, and made dozens of donations to Republican candidates and funds, not one of which "was less than four figures," according to Global News.

Craft's comments came as Trump has continued to stoke climate change skepticism and distanced the U.S. from policies to tackle the threat of global warming. Trump also surrounded himself with like-minded appointees, such as climate change skeptic and physics professor William Happer at the National Security Council, and Scott Pruitt as the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (Pruitt resigned last summer in the wake of ethics inquiries, and Andrew Wheeler, a former coal lobbyist, has been serving as acting EPA administrator).
