Former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is no longer serving as the Trump administration’s special envoy to the “Shield of the Americas” coalition, a State Department spokesperson confirms to broadcast partner NewsNation and is also reported by other outlets. The change is described as an end to her envoy role.
CBS News and the Daily Mail report that Noem remains affiliated with the State Department, shifting from the envoy position to an advisory capacity. The sources attribute the confirmation to a State Department official, but they do not provide additional details on the timing of the reassignment beyond the confirmation and reporting.
Overall, the outlets agree on the core point: Noem’s official duties as special envoy to the Shield of the Americas initiative conclude, while her continued presence at the department is said to continue in a different role.
