Mexico's Foreign Minister, Juan Ramón de la Fuente, is stepping down, with Roberto Velasco set to replace him. According to official statements, de la Fuente is leaving for 'health reasons' and will return to another role after rehabilitation. However, de la Fuente is already working on his future in politics and is considering a return to his former post as Mexico's representative to the United Nations, a position he held from 2018 to 2023. He reportedly felt more comfortable in that role than as head of the Foreign Ministry. His extensive experience in international diplomacy and his strong relationship with former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador bolster his candidacy. However, to secure the position, he may need to address past speculation about his alleged leniency towards the Trump administration, despite his previous criticisms of the former U.S. president. Roberto Velasco, the current head of the U.S. relations department, will be the new foreign minister.
