MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – The U.S. Ambassador to Mexico, Roberta Jacobson, said on Thursday she would step down from the job in May, joining a growing list of senior U.S. State Department officials to resign from the agency during the presidency of Donald Trump.
Jacobson’s decision comes as relations between the two neighboring nations are at a low ebb, thanks to Trump’s threats to abandon the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and force Mexico to pay for a border wall.
