Earlier this year, President Joe Biden nominated Jean Manes to serve as U.S. Ambassador to Colombia. The mission in Bogotá is critically important to the U.S., and the next ambassador will have to navigate a government led by former M-19 guerilla member Gustavo Petro.
U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) released a statement outlining his opposition to Manes’ nomination to serve as U.S. Ambassador to Colombia.
“After careful review and consideration of her qualifications and performance at previous posts, I cannot support the nomination of Jean Manes to serve as United States Ambassador to Colombia. The U.S. mission in Bogota is among the most strategically important and central to our nation’s interests and regional stability in the Western Hemisphere.
“We need an ambassador who will constructively engage, and coordinate with, large interagency teams to effectively advance America’s interests and defend against threats in the region, including narcoterrorism, illicit trafficking, and a destabilizing autocratic narco-regime in Venezuela. I appreciate and respect Ambassador Manes’ longtime service and career, but I am unable to support her nomination to this crucial post.” – Senator Rubio

RUBIO SE OPONE A LA NOMINADA DE BIDEN COMO EMBAJADORA DE EE.UU. ANTE COLOMBIA
A principios de este año, el presidente Joe Biden nombró a Jean Manes para servir como Embajadora de EE.UU. ante Colombia. La misión diplomática en Bogotá es de vital importancia para EE.UU. y el próximo embajador tendrá la importante tarea de navegar la relación con un gobierno liderado por el ex-guerrillero del M-19 Gustavo Petro.
El senador estadounidense Marco Rubio (R-FL) emitió un comunicado resaltando su oposición a la nominación de Manes para servir como Embajadora de EE.UU. ante Colombia.
“Después de una cuidadosa revisión y consideración de sus calificaciones y desempeño en puestos anteriores, no puedo apoyar la nominación de Jean Manes para servir como Embajadora de EE.UU. en Colombia. La misión diplomática de EE.UU. en Bogotá se encuentra entre las más importantes estratégicamente para los intereses tanto de nuestro país como para la estabilidad regional en el hemisferio occidental.
“Necesitamos un embajador que participe de manera constructiva y que coordine con agencias y grandes equipos interinstitucionales para promover de manera efectiva los intereses de EE.UU. y que nos defienda de las amenazas en la región, incluyendo el narco-terrorismo, el tráfico ilícito y un narco-régimen autocrático desestabilizador en Venezuela. Aprecio y respeto el servicio y la larga carrera de la Embajadora Manes, pero no puedo apoyar su nominación para este puesto de vital importancia”. – Senador Rubio
