Jenifer H. Moore  Jenifer H. Moore is a career member of the U.S. Foreign Service serving as Chargé d'Affaires en pied at the U.S. Embassy in Minsk, Belarus since August 2018. The United States has had no ambassador in Belarus since 2008 leaving it to the Chargé d'Affaires to cover the duties. Relations between the two countries have been strained since at least 2001. The relationships with the United States have been further strained, after Congress of the United States unanimously passed the Belarus Democracy Act of 2004. On 7 March 2008 the government of Belarus ejected US Ambassador Karen B. Stewart from the country, following a row over travel restrictions placed on President Lukashenko and sanctions against the state-owned chemical company Belneftekhim. The Belarusian Foreign Ministry announced at the same time that it was recalling its own ambassador to the US. This was followed by the expulsion of ten other U.S. embassy staff from Minsk in late April. At the same time the government of Belarus ordered the U.S. Embassy in Minsk to cut its staff by half. Moore graduated from the Georgia Institute of Technology with a Bachelor and Master of Science degrees in International Affairs and a Master of Science degree in Public Policy.
