Trump Picks Former Fox News Host Tammy Bruce for Deputy UN Ambassador Role

President Donald Trump has proposed Tammy Bruce, a State Department spokeswoman and ex-Fox News contributor, for the role of deputy U.S. representative to the United Nations as he continues to solidify his administration's key positions.

In a recent announcement via Truth Social, Trump praised Bruce for her exceptional work at the State Department since the beginning of his second term. He described her as a "Great Patriot, Television Personality, and Bestselling Author," indicating his confidence in her ability to represent the U.S. globally. Bruce’s prior tenure as a conservative commentator at Fox News spanned over two decades, during which she established a reputation for her critical views on liberal policies, including topics covered in her book, "Fear Itself: Exposing the Left's Mind-Killing Agenda."

If her nomination is approved by the Senate, the timeline for Bruce's transition to the UN remains uncertain. Currently, Dorothy Shea serves as the acting ambassador to the UN following her role as deputy ambassador. Bruce has faced scrutiny in her current role for defending controversial U.S. policies, such as those related to immigration and the provisioning of aid in Gaza through private military contractors.

Meanwhile, Trump’s choice for UN ambassador, Mike Waltz, is still pending Senate confirmation, adding intrigue to the upcoming changes within the U.S. representation at the United Nations.
