Former Fox News host and current State Department spokeswoman, Tammy Bruce, has been nominated by President Donald Trump to serve as the Deputy Representative of the United States to the United Nations. This announcement was made via a post on Truth Social, where Trump celebrated Bruce’s performance, claiming she has served "with distinction" since joining the State Department at the beginning of his administration.
Known for her conservative commentary over a career spanning more than two decades on Fox News, Bruce is also an accomplished author, with titles including "Fear Itself: Exposing the Left's Mind-Killing Agenda" highlighting her critical stance on liberal ideologies. Although the timeline for her official role remains uncertain pending Senate confirmation, Trump expressed confidence in her capabilities, asserting she would represent the U.S. "brilliantly" on the international stage.
Bruce has been at the forefront of defending several of Trump's contentious foreign policy decisions during her tenure as spokeswoman, including the administration's hardline immigration policies and the controversial deployment of private military contractors to Gaza for humanitarian aid distribution. As the political dynamics at the UN evolve, Bruce's nomination adds another layer to the ongoing discussions surrounding U.S. foreign policy and international relations. Meanwhile, Trump's nominee for the top UN ambassador position, Mike Waltz, is still awaiting Senate approval, while Dorothy Shea currently serves as the acting ambassador.
