In a recent announcement, President Donald Trump has nominated Tammy Bruce, a former Fox News host and current State Department spokeswoman, to serve as the United States' deputy representative to the United Nations, pending Senate approval. Trump took to Truth Social to praise Bruce's performance at the State Department since his inauguration, stating she has done a "fantastic job" and will represent the US "brilliantly."

Before taking on her government role, Bruce built her reputation over more than two decades as a conservative contributor at Fox News and has authored books critical of liberal policies, such as "Fear Itself: Exposing the Left's Mind-Killing Agenda." Trump framed her nomination as a selection of a "Great Patriot" and emphasized her expertise and media experience.

Although there is no specified timeline for her takeover, her confirmation would position her to have a significant influence in UN discussions. Bruce has actively defended several of Trump's contentious foreign policy decisions, from immigration enforcement to international aid distribution involving private military contractors. Currently, the UN ambassador nominee Mike Waltz is also awaiting Senate confirmation, while Dorothy Shea serves as the acting ambassador, having previously held the deputy position.
