Trump Names Ex-CIA Ron Johnson as Ambassador to Mexico, Passing Over Kari Lake
Dec 11, 2024, 01:42 AM
President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Ronald "Ron" Johnson as the United States Ambassador to Mexico. Johnson, a veteran of the CIA and U.S. Army Special Forces (Green Berets), previously served as the U.S. Ambassador to El Salvador during Trump's first term from 2019 to 2021. His nomination emphasizes his experience in security and intelligence, highlighting a focus on strengthening U.S.-Mexico relations regarding border security and cooperation against drug cartels. Johnson will work closely with Secretary of State nominee Marco Rubio to promote American security and prosperity through strong "America First" foreign policies. Kari Lake, a former Republican Senate candidate from Arizona and promoter of the border wall, was reportedly considered for the position but was not selected.
