Story summary

As of October 15, 2026, Kristi Noem is no longer serving as the Trump administration's special envoy for the Shield of the Americas initiative, according to a State Department official. Noem’s role expired last month and she has transitioned to become a senior advisor to Deputy Secretary Landau while continuing her work on the Shield of the Americas portfolio. The Shield of the Americas is a coalition involving the United States and several Caribbean and Latin American countries established earlier this year by the Trump administration to address economic matters, anti-cartel enforcement, and other issues. This reassignment marks one of several recent changes at the State Department following a turbulent week that included terminations and reshuffling.
