The president-elect said his nominee is a โ€˜fierce fighter for America First principlesโ€™ who understands Latin American politics.

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.

โ€œI 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,โ€ Trump wrote on his Truth Social account on Dec. 25.

Trump called Cabrera โ€œa fierce fighter for America First principlesโ€ who has played an instrumental role in driving economic growth and fostering international partnerships.

Cabrera, who was the state director for Trumpโ€™s 2020 reelection campaign in Florida, also serves as vice chairman of Miami-Dadeโ€™s International Trade Consortium. He has also been the Florida director for the American First Policy Insitute since 2023.

Trump applauded Cabrera for advancing his MAGA agenda as a member of the Republican National Committeeโ€™s Platform Committee.

โ€œFew understand Latin American politics as well as Kevinโ€”He will do a fantastic job representing our Nationโ€™s interests in Panama!โ€ Trump wrote.

Responding to Trumpโ€™s announcement, Cabrera took to social media platform X to thank the president-elect.

โ€œIโ€™m humbled and honored by your nomination to serve as the U.S. Ambassador to Panama,โ€ Cabrera wrote. โ€œLetโ€™s get to work!โ€

Trumpโ€™s nomination has earned praise from some Republicans in Congress.

Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) said he had worked with Cabrera and knew how much the commissioner cares about the future of the United States and freedom in Latin America.

โ€œThe U.S. and Panama have a unique relationship and I know Kevin will represent our interests well as Ambassador!โ€ Scott said in an X post.

โ€œPanama is a vital democratic U.S. ally in the region, playing a critical role in combating narcotrafficking, illegal immigration, and standing against oppressive dictatorships,โ€ Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-Fla.) wrote in an X post.

โ€œI have no doubt Kevin will excel in safeguarding our national security interests.โ€
