The American Chamber of Commerce of Trinidad and Tobago (AMCHAM T&T) welcomes the nomination of Jennifer Johnson-Carroll by the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump to serve as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the United States of America to the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago.

The nomination, which was formally submitted to the United States Senate on June 2, 2026, marks an important step in the appointment process and reflects the continued importance of the longstanding relationship between Trinidad and Tobago and the United States.

Originally a native of Arouca, Trinidad and Tobago, Johnson-Carroll’s nomination is particularly noteworthy. If confirmed by the United States Senate, she would become the first Trinidad and Tobago-born woman to serve as U.S. Ambassador to Trinidad and Tobago – a historic milestone that highlights the significant contributions of members of the Trinidad and Tobago diaspora on the international stage.
