Kari Lake reportedly under consideration for U.S. ambassador to Mexico

newsweek.com

Kari Lake is reportedly being considered for the role of U.S. ambassador to Mexico by President-elect Donald Trump. Lake, a close ally of Trump, has no diplomatic experience and has previously lost elections while claiming fraud. Lake's focus on immigration and border security aligns with Trump's policies. If nominated, she would need Senate approval, requiring support from at least 50 senators, assuming no Democrats back her. The ambassador role involves managing U.S.-Mexico relations on issues like migration and drug trafficking. Recent discussions between Trump and Mexico's new president, Claudia Sheinbaum, revealed differing views on border control.
