The United States ambassador to Mexico said Thursday she will resign from her post in May, making her the latest in a long string of officials to leave the State Department under President Donald Trump.

Roberta Jacobson made the announcement in a tweet in Spanish on Thursday, saying she would be leaving her ambassadorship “in search of other opportunities.”

Earlier in the day, she told embassy staff the choice to leave was a tough one.
