President Donald Trump has nominated State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce to serve as the deputy representative of the United States to the United Nations, with the rank of ambassador. Announcing the move on Truth Social, Trump praised Bruce as a \u201cGreat Patriot\u201d and a \u201cBestselling Author\u201d who has been \u201cserving with distinction\u201d at the State Department. If confirmed by the Senate, Bruce will take on the post during a tense period in U.S. foreign policy, particularly amid international criticism of America\u2019s support for Israel\u2019s Gaza campaign.<\/p>\n
Bruce, a former Fox News contributor and liberal activist-turned-conservative commentator, was appointed to her current role in January and has become a prominent voice in Trump\u2019s second-term foreign policy efforts. Her nomination comes as the U.S. awaits Senate confirmation of Mike Waltz as the permanent U.N. ambassador, leaving a key diplomatic post temporarily unfilled.<\/p>\n
Bruce drew national attention last week during a Fox News appearance addressing President Trump\u2019s growing frustration with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump criticized Russia\u2019s continued aggression in Ukraine, saying, \u201cThey spend everything on war and killing people, and it doesn\u2019t make sense to me.\u201d His comments were seen as a departure from past diplomatic patience with Putin.<\/p>\n
During that same segment, Bruce emphasized Trump\u2019s commitment to diplomacy and transparency. She stated that the president\u2019s remarks should be taken seriously by Russia and that the administration remains focused on using all available tools to curb further violence and instability.<\/p>\n
Her nomination highlights Trump\u2019s continued strategy of placing trusted media figures in high-level diplomatic roles. If confirmed, Bruce will be tasked with representing U.S. interests at the U.N. during a volatile time on the global stage. Senate confirmation hearings are expected soon.<\/p>\n
