Ambassador to Mex quits amid strained ties

[Motley13]

Joseph Yun, special representative on North Korea, resigned earlier this week, and John Feeley, the U.S. ambassador to Panama, announced his decision to leave in January. Feeley said he could no longer advocate for U.S. policy in the Trump administration.

In December, Elizabeth Shackelford, a rising star at the State Department, issued a scathing resignation letter, accusing Tillerson and President Trump of undercutting U.S. influence around the world. She said they had abandoned human rights as a priority and shown disdain for diplomacy.

Roberta Jacobson, the U.S. ambassador to Mexico and one of the State Department’s most experienced Latin America hands, said Thursday that she is quitting even as U.S. relations with Mexico appear to have nose dived.

Jacobson, who spent 31 years as a diplomat, becomes the latest veteran foreign service officer to step down in what has become an unusual exodus of departing senior talent under Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.

goals inimical to our national interests, as a result of new policies destructive of our power and position in the world that could not be explained any other way.
