Trump Appoints Tammy Bruce as Deputy UN Ambassador Nominee

In a significant move, President Donald Trump has nominated Tammy Bruce, a former Fox News host and current spokeswoman for the U.S. State Department, as the Deputy Representative of the United States to the United Nations. Trump heralded Bruce’s contributions in her present role and expressed his confidence in her ability to represent U.S. interests on the international stage.

In a detailed announcement via Truth Social, Trump praised Bruce as a "Great Patriot, Television Personality, and Bestselling Author," emphasizing her commendable performance since his second term commenced. Bruce, who spent over two decades as a conservative contributor at Fox News, has also penned several books critiquing liberal ideologies, further solidifying her standing within the Republican base. Her nomination awaits confirmation from the Senate, with the timeline for her assuming office yet to be determined.

As State Department spokesperson, Bruce has been a vocal proponent of various contentious U.S. foreign policy measures, including strict immigration policies and the deployment of private military contractors for aid distribution in conflict zones like Gaza. Meanwhile, Mike Waltz, Trump’s pick for UN ambassador, is still pending Senate approval, leaving Dorothy Shea as the current acting ambassador, a seasoned diplomat who relied on extensive experience in her role.
