President Trump has nominated CIA veteran Ronald Johnson, his former Ambassador to El Salvador, to serve as Ambassador to Mexico in his next administration. 
This is despite several media reports and rumors from sources close to the Trump team that Kari Lake was a top contender for the role. Supporters of Lake have also called for Trump to give Lake a job somewhere on the border, citing her advocacy for Trump’s border policies while fighting against the rigged system in her bids for Governor and Senate in Arizona.
The Gateway Pundit reported earlier that several sources familiar with the matter said Lake was in talks with Trump about serving as his Ambassador to Mexico.
