The Border Trade Alliance sent this letter to the White House calling on the administration to appoint a new ambassador to Mexico.

The letter reads in part:

“In this politically sensitive time, we believe a lead diplomat is required to oversee all aspects of the U.S.-Mexico relationship.

“The migrant crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border, the beginning of a new Mexican presidential administration, and the adoption of the United States Mexico Canada Agreement (USMCA), all call for a seasoned professional who can expertly navigate this critically important binational relationship and best represent U.S. interests.”
