March 7: Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, met with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto without the current US Ambassador to Mexico, Roberta Jacobson. Kushner had almost no experience in international diplomacy, while Jacobson served the US Government for 31 years as one of the nation’s leading experts on Latin America. Columbia University’s Christopher Sabatini told the New York Times, “The sending of the president’s son-in-law — someone with no experience in Mexican-U.S. relations — is another example of the de-professionalization and personalization of diplomacy that will hurt U.S. interests and leverage in the region.”

October 23: Former ambassador relieved to no longer have to ‘defend the indefensible’
Roberta Jacobson, who stepped down earlier this year as the U.S. ambassador to Mexico, wrote an interesting op-ed for the New York Times over the weekend in which she shared some of her experiences as a member of Donald Trump’s administration.
For example, Jacobson, a 30-year veteran of U.S. diplomacy, lamented the “chaotic decision-making style that has undermined America’s diplomacy and national interests across the globe. I observed this disarray up close for more than a year as the ambassador to Mexico. It wasn’t pretty.”
