The Republican, who will assume power on January 20, also reported its intention to nominate businessman Leandro Rizzuto as representatives of the United States before the Organization of American States (OAS).
Trump detailed in his profile on the Truth Social network that Peter Lamelas, whom he wants to nominate as ambassador to Argentina, is a successful doctor and businessman from Florida.
(See: Banrepública Board, the character of 2024).
Lamelas founded the medical care company MD Now Urgent Care in that state, which became one of the most important in the United States.
According to the Republican, Lamelas’ family fled Cuba when he was a child and its members “They legally immigrated to the United States, where they started a life from scratch and managed to achieve the American dream”.
Who would be the ambassador in Colombia?
Trump also announced that he will nominate Daniel Newlin, a former detective who worked for 28 years in the Orange County Sheriff’s Office in Florida, and who founded the law firm Dan Newlin Injury Attorneys, as ambassador to Colombia.
Trump highlighted in a statement that Newlin demonstrated “exceptional research skills” and who pursued crimes such as armed robberies, gang violence, human trafficking, and arms and drug trafficking.

“With his law enforcement experience enabling him to navigate complex international issues and his business savvy fostering economic partnerships, Newlin stands as a powerful advocate for U.S. interests.”he stated.
For representation before the OAS, Trump pointed to businessman Leandro Rizzuto, a major donor to the Republican’s campaign who for several years ran the small appliance and personal hygiene company Conair, founded by Rizzuto’s father.
During his first term (2017-2021), Trump nominated Rizzuto as ambassador to Barbados but did not obtain Senate ratification and ended up appointing him to a diplomatic position in Bermuda that did not require the approval of the Upper House..
