Lee Statement on MacManus Nomination | 2017-11-28 | 2017 | 2017-11 | Republican | House | UT | Mike Lee | L000577 | www.lee.senate.gov | legacy | WASHINGTON –Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) released the following statement today regarding the nomination of Joseph MacManus to be the US Ambassador to Colombia: "I was extremely disappointed to learn that Joseph MacManus has been nominated to become the United States ambassador to Colombia,” Sen. Lee said. "At a time when we should be cleaning up the State Department and realigning our foreign-policy priorities to reflect those of the current administration, an Obama-era diplomat is not the right person to head our embassy in Colombia, a critical U.S. ally in the region.” President Trump announced the nomination last Tuesday, November 21. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
