Trump Picks Ex-El Salvador Envoy Johnson as Mexico Ambassador
- Immigration, trade disputes have frayed US-Mexico relations
- President-elect faces a new Mexican leader, Claudia Sheinbaum
President-elect Donald Trump said he would name Ronald Johnson as his ambassador to Mexico, selecting a former appointee to manage one of the most important US relationships through escalating tensions over immigration and trade.
“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 in a post on his Truth Social platform Tuesday night.
