Ronald Johnson has officially assumed his role as the new U.S. ambassador to Mexico, attracting significant attention due to his hawkish background and associations with right-wing figures. Following a ceremonial presentation of credentials, he and his wife visited the Basilica of Guadalupe, seeking divine guidance for their diplomatic mission. His first days involved meetings with key government officials, signaling a potential shift in U.S.-Mexico relations. Johnson's warm reception contrasts sharply with that of his predecessor, raising questions about his approach and the implications of his connections to far-right politics.
"Thank you, Mexico!" Applause erupted from the crowd as Ronald Johnson took to the floor, greeted warmly by mariachis and marked a stark contrast from his predecessor.
Upon arriving in Mexico, as people of faith, my wife Alina and I visited Our Lady of Guadalupe to ask for wisdom and strength in this responsibility for the benefit of both nations.
While Johnson is warmly received at the dinner, his ties to the far right and a hawkish approach under Trump's era raise concerns among progressive observers.
All eyes were on Johnson during the presentation of credentials, and his early days have included meetings with influential figures like Foreign Minister Juan Ramon de la Fuente.
