President-elect Donald Trump announced his pick for American ambassador to Panama, days after suggesting that the United States should take control of the Panama Canal.
“I am pleased to announce that Kevin Marino Cabrera will serve as the United States Ambassador to the Republic of Panama, a Country that is ripping us off on the Panama Canal, far beyond their wildest dreams,” Trump posted on the social media platform Truth Social late Wednesday.
“Few understand Latin American politics as well as Kevin — He will do a FANTASTIC job representing our Nation’s interests in Panama!” he added.
Cabrera, a native of Miami, won his county election two years ago. A steadfast Trump loyalist, he previously served as the Florida state director for Trump’s 2020 campaign and as a member of the Republican National Committee Platform Committee.
According to his official page, he was born to Cuban exiles and graduated from Miami Dade College and Florida International University.
