Costa Rica President fires foreign minister over Trump meeting
Costa Rican President Laura Fernández dismissed her Foreign Minister, Manuel Tovar, after he attended a regional security meeting led by U.S. President Donald Trump in New York, without informing her or obtaining prior permission. She stated that she should have participated personally in the "Overseas American Shield" countries' meeting to combat drug cartels, emphasizing that the lack of consultation caused significant strategic damage to the country's foreign policy. This move reflects the intensity of internal diplomatic disputes within Costa Rica and her insistence on adhering to the presidential hierarchy in managing security issues and relations with Washington.
