President Donald Trump has nominated longtime ally Kari Lake to be the next US ambassador to Jamaica.
Lake most recently led the Trump administration's efforts to dismantle federally funded news organisation Voice of America (VOA).
If Lake's appointment is confirmed by the Senate, it will close out her time as the top official in charge of the US Agency for Global Media, which oversees VOA.
During her time leading the agency, Lake - under the direction of a presidential executive order - moved to terminate hundreds of employees at the global broadcaster.
Trump has been a staunch critic of VOA, which he has accused of left-wing bias.
