(TheIndependentStar.com) – Given her firm position on border security, Kari Lake has risen as a top contender for U.S. Ambassador to Mexico in President-elect Donald Trump’s upcoming administration.
========
BREAKING UPDATE: President-elect Donald Trump did not select Kari Lake. Just moments ago, he made the following announcement.
“I am pleased to nominate Ronald (Ron) Johnson to serve as the United States Ambassador to Mexico. 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. During my First Term, Ron served as the Ambassador to El Salvador, where he worked tirelessly with Salvadoran authorities and our team to reduce violent crime and illegal migration to the lowest levels in History. He also served our Country for over twenty years with the Central Intelligence Agency after a distinguished career in the U.S. Army as a Green Beret. He graduated from the National Intelligence University with a Master of Strategic Intelligence.”

This bold move signals Trump’s commitment to putting America First champions in key diplomatic roles.
It also sets the stage for a groundbreaking approach to U.S.-Mexico relations and immigration policy.
Lake’s appointment would be key for implementing Republican immigration reform plans and securing the southern border.
Known for her unwavering support of Trump’s policies, Lake could lead negotiations with Mexico on halting illegal immigration and drug trafficking.
Despite lacking diplomatic experience, Lake’s background as a Phoenix news anchor for over 30 years and her strong stance on border security make her an attractive candidate for the Trump administration.
Lake’s potential appointment comes at a critical time when U.S.-Mexico relations are expected to be heated.
Trump has already taken a firm stance, threatening a 25% tariff on Mexican imports if the country fails to control the flow of illegal aliens.
This tough approach aligns with Lake’s hardline position on immigration, which includes completing Trump’s border wall and calling for quick deportation of illegals.
The former Arizona gubernatorial candidate has consistently brought up Trump’s concerns about border security and illegal immigration.
During her recent Senate campaign, Lake maintained her firm stance on these issues, criticizing her opponent for not supporting the deportation of illegals.
If confirmed, Lake would face the challenge of managing relations with Mexico’s new President, Claudia Sheinbaum.
Trump and Sheinbaum are already at odds over immigration policy, with Sheinbaum seeking a deal to limit third-country deportees to Mexico.
🚨BREAKING: Kari Lake is reportedly a leading candidate for President Trump’s Ambassador to Mexico position, according to Semafor.
