President Donald Trump announced Friday his official plan to nominate State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert to be the new U. S. ambassador to the United Nations.
Nauert, if confirmed by the Senate, will replace Nikki Haley, who announced in October she’d be resigning from the position.
Trump said Friday morning that Nauert, a former Fox News anchor, is “very talented, very smart, very quick.”
“I think she’s going to be respected by all,” the president told reporters at The White House before departing for Kansas City, Missouri. (REPORT: Trump To Name Nauert UN Ambassador)
Nauert has been serving as the spokeswoman for the State Department since April 2017 but may face a tough Senate confirmation given her relatively little foreign policy experience, which Democrats will be sure to highlight.
