Kari Lake tapped by Trump for Jamaica ambassador post
TL;DR
President Donald Trump has nominated Kari Lake, a two-time Arizona candidate, to be the U.S. Ambassador to Jamaica, with Senate confirmation required. Lake’s background includes gubernatorial and Senate runs and election-related lawsuits. She was previously chosen by Trump to lead an agency overseeing Voice of America and other media services; she terminated contracts and laid off staff, and a March 2026 federal ruling found she lacked authority to dismantle the institution.
