President Donald Trump announced on Saturday that he is nominating Tammy Bruce, the current spokesperson for the State Department, as the next U.S. deputy representative to the United Nations. Bruce has served as the State Department’s spokesperson since Trump assumed office in January.
In a social media post, Trump praised her performance, calling her job “fantastic.” The nomination now awaits confirmation from the U.S. Senate, where Republicans hold a majority. Throughout her tenure, she has defended various foreign policy decisions made by the Trump administration, including immigration enforcement actions, visa restrictions, responses to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and Israel’s conflict in Gaza—a situation that included a controversial private aid operation in Palestinian territories.
Bruce’s background includes over 20 years as a political contributor and commentator on Fox News. She’s also authored books such as “Fear Itself: Exposing the Left’s Mind-Killing Agenda,” criticizing liberal and progressive viewpoints.
Following Trump’s announcement, Bruce expressed gratitude and indicated that the confirmation process may take a few weeks. Neither she nor the president specified an exact timeline. Bruce shared on X (formerly Twitter), “Now I’m honored to continue advancing America First leadership and values on the global stage through this new role in the coming weeks.”
Trump has also selected Mike Waltz, a former White House national security adviser, to serve as the U.N. envoy. Waltz’s confirmation is pending in the Senate. He previously served as Trump’s national security adviser until his removal on May 1, following involvement in a scandal linked to a March Signal chat among top aides discussing military strikes in Yemen. Trump then nominated Waltz for the U.N. role, where he will work under Bruce.
