Former U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem no longer serves as President Donald Trump’s administration’s special envoy for the Shield of the Americas initiative. Her appointment expired in September, CBS News reported Thursday, citing a State Department official.

“Noem’s appointment as special envoy expired last month, and she no longer holds this position,” the official said. However, the official specified that Noem remains involved in the project as a senior adviser to Under Secretary of State Christopher Landau.

Noem was appointed special envoy in March, after Donald Trump removed her from the leadership of the Department of Homeland Security. Even after her term expired, she continued to participate in diplomatic activities related to the initiative.

On September 22, Noem met in Quito with Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa and participated in discussions with regional leaders on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.

The Shield of the Americas is a coalition launched by the Trump administration together with several Latin American states led by right-wing governments. The initiative aims to coordinate economic cooperation, combat drug cartels, and strengthen regional security.

Context: Schimbări de personal în administrația Trump și continuitate pe agenda de securitate și cooperare regională

Înainte de expirarea numirii Kristi Noem ca trimis special pentru inițiativa „Scutul Americilor”, administrația Trump a mai operat schimbări în rândul reprezentanților săi speciali. Un alt emisar special, Paolo Zampolli, a fost demis din funcție, iar mandatul său s-a încheiat la scurt timp după ce au apărut informații despre tensiuni interne legate de atribuții și ierarhia decizională.

Totodată, în aceeași perioadă, au existat și alte modificări la nivel diplomatic și instituțional, inclusiv retragerea unei nominalizări pentru conducerea ICE. În paralel, au fost relatate controverse privind activitatea unor oficiali americani, ceea ce a alimentat discuții despre modul în care administrația își gestionează numirile și rolurile în instituții-cheie.

În acest cadru, inițiativa „Scutul Americilor” a fost prezentată ca o coaliție lansată de administrația Trump împreună cu state latino-americane, cu obiective legate de coordonarea cooperării economice, combaterea cartelurilor de droguri și consolidarea securității regionale.
