Trump Nominates Former Fox News Host Tammy Bruce as Deputy UN Ambassador
On an unspecified date, U.S. President Donald Trump nominated Tammy Bruce, a former Fox News commentator and current State Department spokeswoman, to serve as the United States Deputy Representative to the United Nations. In this role, Bruce would assist the U.S. Permanent Representative to the UN in expressing U.S. policy positions and participating in diplomatic engagements at the UN headquarters in New York.
Bruce is recognized for her work as a television host, political commentator, and communications official within the U.S. government. If the U.S. Senate confirms her nomination, she will hold the title of 'Deputy Representative of the United States of America to the United Nations, with the rank and status of Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, Deputy Representative of the United States to the Security Council of the United Nations.'
Her nomination will undergo the Senate’s confirmation process, beginning with review by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee before a vote by the full Senate. The deputy UN ambassador works within the U.S. Mission to the United Nations to further American diplomatic objectives and contribute to discussions in both the Security Council and General Assembly.
Trump Nominates State Department Spokesperson Tammy Bruce as Deputy UN Representative
President Donald Trump has nominated Tammy Bruce, the current spokesperson for the U.S. State Department and a former Fox News contributor, to serve as the Deputy U.S. Representative to the United Nations. Bruce, who took on her State Department role in January during Trump’s second term, has become one of the department’s most visible figures over the last six months.
Once a longtime Democrat and self-described liberal activist, Bruce shifted her political stance to align with the conservative "Make America Great Again" movement. The Deputy UN Representative position requires Senate confirmation, meaning Bruce will face scrutiny from lawmakers during her confirmation hearings.
If confirmed, Bruce would assume the role at a time when the Trump administration’s foreign policy—particularly its staunch support for Israel amid criticism of its Gaza military operations—has strained relations with some traditional U.S. allies. A date for her confirmation hearing has not yet been set.
