Trump reports nomination of Troy Edgar as next US envoy to El Salvador
The president praised Edgar’s recent performance at the Department of Homeland Security, highlighting his leadership since rejoining the agency earlier this year. “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 wrote in a public statement.
Trump emphasized El Salvador’s strategic importance to Washington, describing the country as a key partner in the region. He also commended President Nayib Bukele for his cooperation with the United States, saying Bukele “has been a tremendous ally in the fight against Crime, Cartels, and Chaos, and together, we are building the safest and strongest neighborhood our hemisphere has ever seen.”
According to the president, Edgar’s appointment would support broader regional goals. “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,” he added.
Edgar currently serves as deputy secretary of homeland security. As with all US ambassadorial nominations, his appointment will require confirmation by the Senate before he can formally assume the post.
