United States President Donald Trump officially announced his intent to nominate Lana Marks — who previously lived in Bermuda — as the ‘Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the United States of America to South Africa.’

The selection of Ms Marks, who who along with her husband was charged — and later cleared on appeal — with an immigration offence in Bermuda back in the 1980, had previously been reported by the international media, and earlier this week the U.S. Government officially confirmed those reports.
