Belize will soon welcome a new United States (US) ambassador. André Bauer, a former South Carolina, USA legislator and two-term lieutenant governor, was sworn in as US Ambassador to Belize on August 20th and is expected to arrive in the country sometime in September. Belize has been without a US ambassador since Michelle Kwan concluded her tenure in January 2025. Since then, the US Embassy in Belmopan has been operating under the leadership of chargé d’affaires.
