President-elect Donald Trump passed over Kari Lake in his choice for the next U.S. ambassador to Mexico, announcing Ronald Johnson, a former U.S. ambassador to El Salvador, as his pick.
"Ron will work closely with our great Secretary of State Nominee, Marco Rubio, to promote our Nation's security and prosperity through strong America First Foreign Policies," Trump said when making the announcement on his Truth Social platform. The message highlighted Johnson's diplomatic experience and more than two decades of service with the CIA.
