U.S. Ambassador to Denmark Sands in a meeting in 2020 with U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, discussing ties between Alaska and Greenland. Trump nominated Sands to the post of U.S. Ambassador to the Kingdom of Denmark. The convicted fundraiser Elliott Broidy had put her name forth to Trump. She was confirmed by the United States Senate on November 2, 2017, on a voice vote. She formally assumed the office on December 15, 2017. In December 2019, she caused controversy by vetoing the presence of Stanley Sloan, a scholar of the NATO alliance, at a Danish Atlantic Council conference that was meant to celebrate the 70th anniversary of NATO and discuss its future. Sloan had been invited by the head of the Council, Lars Struwe, to give the keynote address at the conference. Days before the conference, Sands objected to Sloan speaking because he had criticized Trump; after Sands' intervention, the Danish Atlantic Council canceled the conference rather than accede to Sands' wishes. Struwe wrote to Sloan that "we believe that freedom of speech is paramount in every democracy" and that the think tank saw no conflict between Sloan's criticism of Trump and his participation as a speaker at a conference. The U.S. Embassy posted a Twitter message saying that the "proposed last-minute inclusion" of Sloan into the conference did not comply with the "agreement that we followed when recruiting all other speakers." The Embassy offered no proof of that allegation, however, and Struwe denied that such a process had even existed. When all the other speakers for the conference were being selected, Struwe said the U.S. Embassy had played no role in choosing them or in confirming whether they would attend the conference.

"Daisy Frances Christina Osborn (27 April 1888 – 3 May 1957) was a New Zealand painter, illustrator, and jewelry designer. Family and education Daisy Frances Christina Osborn was born in Christchurch, New Zealand, the only child of Emily Jane Turvey, an Englishwoman, and Alfred Patterson Osborn, an Australian engraver. She attended Christchurch Girls’ High School and studied art at Canterbury College School of Art intermittently over fifteen years (1906–11, 1913, 1919–21). She won a scholarship and numerous prizes at the school and began to exhibit in 1913. Johnson went on to teach part-time at the Canterbury College School of Art (1921–27), giving instruction in painting, metalwork, design, and embroidery. Art career Osborn worked as an illustrator of children's literature, mainly in pen and watercolour, and she designed modernist jewelry in silver with enamel or cloisonné decoration. However, she is now best known as a painter of portraits, Christchurch cityscapes, still lifes, and floral studies. There is also a group of religious paintings with pacifist themes from the 1930s, influenced in part by her interest in Theosophy. The sentimentality of her illustration work stands in stark contrast to the crisp contours and bold coloring of her mature paintings, such her 1936 portrait of fellow artist Rose Zeller. She continued to paint and exhibit until the year before she died, showing regularly at the New Zealand Academy of Fine Arts and in the 1940 National Centennial Exhibition of New Zealand Art in Wellington. Her work is in many private collections, and some of her work is held by the Christchurch Art Gallery. She was included in the 1993 exhibition White Camellias: A Century of Art Making by Canterbury Women.
