Mystery Man

 

Who is this?

I am really curious as to who this man is.  He is to the left of Pete Hegseth in Brussels, and is probably an American.  I haven't tried too hard to identify him but here is the first guess according to Yandex Images.

Arturs Karins (Krišjānis Kariņš), former Prime Minister of Latvia.

But I don't think that is him.  Why would the former Prime Minister of Latvia be walking next to Pete Hegseth?  Any other guesses?

I guess I should say, wrong answers only.

 ===================================

Guess #2 also according to Yandex:

Nikolai Denkov, former Prime Minister of Bulgaria.  I also don't think it is him as they look nothing alike except for the glasses.

Guess #3 according to Google Image search:

Woody Johnson, former US Ambassador to the UK.  It's definitely not him.  

Guess #4

It's definitely not Mark Rutte, Secretary General of NATO

Guess #5

Not Mark Esper, former US Secretary of Defense.

Guess #6

Not Bruno Le Maire of France.

Guess #7

Not Andrzej Duda, President of Poland. 

Guess #8

Could it be Jens Stoltenberg of Norway, former Secretary General of NATO?  Maybe, but probably not.

Guess #9

Dietmar Bartsch, German politician?  No

Guess #10, from Google image search

David F Helvey, former Acting Assistant Secretary of Defense for Indo-Pacific Security Affairs.  Maybe, but probably not.  Upon looking again, I think this is the guy.
