President-elect Donald Trump nominated Miami-Dade County Commissioner Kevin Marino Cabrera to serve as U.S. ambassador to Panama, days after suggesting that the United States regain control of the Panama Canal.

“I am pleased to announce that Kevin Marino Cabrera will serve as the United States Ambassador to the Republic of Panama, a Country that is ripping us off on the Panama Canal, far beyond their wildest dreams,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social account on Dec. 25.
