US President Donald Trump has announced his nomination of State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce as the next deputy representative to the United Nations. In a social media post, Trump praised Bruce's performance, stating, “Since the beginning of my Second Term, Tammy has been serving with distinction … where she did a fantastic job,” assuring that she will represent the US "brilliantly" at the UN if confirmed by the Senate, according to CBS News and India Times.

Bruce's nomination comes as she has been serving in her role since January 2023, following Trump's return to presidency. With a complex background that includes a lengthy tenure as a conservative commentator on Fox News, she authored several books critiquing left-wing ideas. Bruce has previously defended various controversial policies of the Trump administration during her time as spokesperson, which included immigration policies and responses to international conflicts, reports BBC, TRT Global, and Dawn.

Following the announcement, Bruce expressed gratitude in a post, stating her commitment to advancing "America First leadership" in her potential new role. The Senate's approval is necessary for her to officially assume the position, while another Trump nominee, Mike Waltz, still awaits confirmation as the UN ambassador, highlighting the current dynamics in the administration's foreign policy leadership, according to CBS News and India Times.
