U.S. Ambassador has the White House’s total confidence for her understanding on the Mexican reality, asserts acting U.S. Assistant Secretary of State (EFE)

The Assistant Secretary for Western Hemisphere Affairs of the U.S. State Department, Francisco Palmieri, has confirmed that current U.S. Ambassador to Mexico, Roberta Jacobson, will remain in the post under President Trump’s administration.

“She is the ideal Ambassador to be there at this moment, there are no plans to remove her in this moment,” assured Palmieri on the 47th edition of The Summits of the Americas celebrated in Washington.

Jacobson, Ambassador to Mexico since June 2016, is according to Palmieri the “key person” to “understand” Mexico. “She is doing an excellent job in helping us understand the opportunities in Mexico,” asserted the American diplomat.

Jacobson, who before arriving in Mexico held Palmieri’s office, was designated to the Mexican Embassy by former President Barack Obama, and validated by the Senate after six months of long internal conflicts and many delays on account of political disagreements between Democrats and Republicans.
