Donald Trump's pick to be the next ambassador to Mexico, Ronald Johnson, is well-acquainted with Latin America. He has decades of experience in the U.S. Military and the CIA, and, most recently, served as the U.S. ambassador to El Salvador, where he cultivated a strong alliance with President Nayib Bukele to combat illegal immigration and crime.
In his announcement, Trump emphasized Johnson's experience and professional achievements, saying he would 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."
