Macmanus was President Donald Trump's nominee to become United States Ambassador to Colombia. This nomination was reported favorably by the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations in May 2018, but was returned to the President at the close of the 115th Congress without consideration by the full Senate. In 2019, Philip Goldberg replaced Macmanus as nominee to be the next United States Ambassador to Colombia.
