President Donald Trump said on Saturday he was nominating State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce as the next U.S. deputy representative to the United Nations.
Bruce has been the State Department spokesperson since Trump took office in January.
In a post on social media in which Trump announced her nomination, the president said she did a "fantastic job" as State Department spokesperson.
She has defended the Trump administration's foreign policy decisions ranging from immigration crackdown and visa revocations to U.S. responses to Russia's war in Ukraine and Israel's war in Gaza, including defending a widely condemned armed private aid operation in the Palestinian enclave.
Bruce was a political contributor and commentator on Fox News for over 20 years.
She has also authored books like "Fear Itself: Exposing the Left’s Mind-Killing Agenda" that offer criticism of liberals and left-leaning viewpoints.

The United Nations Security Council unanimously adopted Resolution 2790 today (28 Aug). The resolution renews the mandate of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), for a final time until 31 December 2026, and “to start an orderly and safe drawdown and withdrawal from 31 December 2026 and within one year.”
Russia pounded Ukraine with deadly missiles and drone strikes early on Thursday in a sweeping attack that President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said was Moscow's answer to diplomatic efforts to end its war.
The United Nations Security Council is set to vote Thursday on what could be the final extension of the UN peacekeeping mission in southern Lebanon (UNIFIL), with plans for a full withdrawal by 2027.
