In a significant move, President Donald Trump has nominated Tammy Bruce, the former spokesperson for the State Department and a familiar face from Fox News, to serve as the United States’ deputy ambassador to the United Nations. Trump heralded her nomination on Truth Social, praising her outstanding performance in her current role since the onset of his second term in office.
Bruce, who has spent over two decades contributing to conservative discourse at Fox News, is recognized for her critical stance towards liberal ideologies, which she outlines in several of her books, including "Fear Itself: Exposing the Left's Mind-Killing Agenda." The timeline for her assuming the new position remains uncertain pending Senate confirmation.
In his announcement, Trump referred to Bruce as a "Great Patriot," affirming his confidence that she would serve the nation effectively at the UN. During her tenure at the State Department, Bruce has notably supported various contentious U.S. foreign policy strategies, including stringent immigration policies and the deployment of private military contractors in conflict zones like Gaza.
At present, Trump’s prior UN ambassador nominee, Mike Waltz, is awaiting Senate confirmation, while Dorothy Shea, a dedicated diplomat, is currently fulfilling the ambassadorial duties on an acting basis. The nomination adds crucial weight to the developments at the United Nations as the administration seeks to assert its foreign policy agenda on a global scale.
