Trump picks Miami-Dade County Commissioner Kevin Marino Cabrera for Panama ambassador

Calling the Miami-Dade County Commissioner a "fierce fighter," Trump said that he would advance the "MAGA agenda" to the Central American country.

"Few understand Latin American politics as well as Kevin - He will do a FANTASTIC job representing our Nation's interests in Panama!" he said.

In a post on Truth Social on Wednesday, Trump also accused Chinese soldiers of illegally operating the canal and "always making certain that the United States puts in Billions of Dollars in 'repair' money but will have absolutely nothing to say about 'anything.'"

"I'm humbled and honored by your nomination to serve as the U.S. Ambassador to Panama," he wrote. "Let's get to work!"

He also served as the Florida state director for Trump's 2020 campaign and was a member of the RNC Platform Committee.
