Heather Nauert will replace Haley as UN ambassador

US President Donald Trump said he’ll nominate State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert to be his next UN ambassador, replacing Nikki Haley after she resigns at the end of this year. Trump said Nauert is “very talented, very smart, very quick and I think she will be respected by all.” While the former Fox News anchor struggled under former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, who kept her blocked out of his inner circle, Nauert built a rapport with Secretary Michael Pompeo, who came to trust her as a reliable voice and advocate for Trump’s agenda.
