This is John Batchelor.

Conversation with Evan Ellis, Professor Evan Ellis of the U.S. Army War College, my good colleague,

about the announced new ambassador to Mexico, Ron Johnson.

The professor speaks very well of him and his success in El Salvador during the first Trump administration.

The critical post of Mexico

City, Ron Johnson. Here's the professor. More of this tonight. Given the importance of Mexico,

and I think just given Ron Johnson's ability to degenerate respect, whether it's with the Mexican

armed forces or others in Mexico, and just his ability to also have a feel for local

politics and really through his personal style as much as is through political detail, I think

try to work through what some of the differences are in policy issues. I'm very hopeful and there

are a number of us who are just ecstatic that Ron Johnson will be representing the United States

in Mexico. Professor. In the future, in that very critical relation.
