Ronald Johnson<\/a> has been confirmed by the Senate, albeit narrowly, as U.S. ambassador to Mexico. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not to be confused with Ronald Harold Johnson, U.S. Senator from Wisconsin, the newly-designated ambassador to Mexico is Ronald Douglas Johnson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During Trump’s first term, in 2019, Ronald D. Johnson was installed as ambassador to the Central American nation of El Salvador, and was in that post from 2019 to 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before that ambassadorship, Johnson was the CIA’s Science and Technology Liaison to U.S. Special Operations Command.

From Reuters<\/a>: “The U.S. Senate on Wednesday [April 9th] confirmed Ronald Johnson, a former ambassador to El Salvador, as ambassador to Mexico, amid ties strained by President Donald Trump’s tariff policy and speculation of U.S. military strikes to fight drug cartels.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The Senate voted 49 to 46 in favor of Johnson, who was an Army Green Beret and CIA officer before serving as ambassador to El Salvador during Trump’s first term.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Only a majority of those present was needed to confirm him for the high-profile diplomatic post. The vote was along party lines, with every yes coming from Trump’s fellow Republicans and every Democrat and independent aligned with Democrats voting no.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
