"Chris will work closely with Secretary of State nominee Mark Rubio to promote prosperity and security in his country through 'America First' foreign policy," Trump said in a post on his Truth Social account on Tuesday local time.
In particular, Chris worked tirelessly to reduce illegal immigration to the lowest level in history while serving as Mexico's ambassador, he explained.
This is in line with Trump's pledge to expel a large number of illegal immigrants and crack down on the Mexican border immediately after the second term is launched.
Lando, a former lawyer, was selected as Trump's first ambassador to Mexico from 2019 to 2021, and made illegal immigration a top priority at the time.
In another statement, Trump said he had named Alina Habba, a personal lawyer who has stood out as the "Trump Division" during the trial, as White House presidential adviser.
"Haba has shown unwavering loyalty and unrivalled determination, and he has always stood by me in numerous 'trial', wars and courts," Trump said.
