Trump announces nomination of Troy Edgar as ambassador to El Salvador
“Since returning to DHS on January 20th, Troy has shown outstanding leadership, delivering strong results in protecting our Homeland, and supporting our America First Agenda. His experience, discipline, and deep understanding of Border Security and Western Hemisphere challenges make him the PERFECT choice for this critical post,” Trump stated on his social media platform, Truth Social.
Trump emphasized the strategic importance of El Salvador as a US partner in the region, praising President Nayib Bukele as “a tremendous ally in the fight against Crime, Cartels, and Chaos,” and highlighting ongoing efforts to create “the safest and strongest neighborhood our hemisphere has ever seen.”
He added, “Troy will play a key role in advancing our Western Hemisphere strategy, strengthening cooperation with President Bukele, and ensuring the Safety and Prosperity of BOTH our Nations — A big step toward restoring American Strength across Latin America.”
Edgar currently serves as the deputy secretary of homeland security. Like all US ambassadorial appointments, his nomination will require confirmation by the Senate before he can officially take up the post.
