Trump Picks <br />Heather Nauert <br />for UN Ambassador The State Department <br />spokeswoman would replace <br />Nikki Haley in the position. President Donald Trump made <br />the announcement to reporters on <br />the South Lawn of the White House. Nauert is <br />a former <br />Fox News host. She has been with the <br />State Department since 2017. Nauert will now <br />face Senate confirmation. It's expected she will be <br />challenged by Democrats on <br />her qualifications for the position. The Trump Administration <br />maintains its distrust <br />of the UN. Nauert is expected to wield less <br />influence both at the UN and in <br />the administration than her <br />predecessor, Nikki Haley.
