Washington, Dec 8 (IBNS): US President Donald Trump on Friday nominated  State Department spokeswoman and former Fox TV news anchor Heather Nauert as the country's ambassador to the United Nations.

Trump made the announcement and also thanked Nikki Haley, who had served as UN ambassador, for her performance.

Trump tweeted: "I am pleased to announce that Heather Nauert, Spokeswoman for the United States Department of State, will be nominated to serve as United Nations Ambassador. I want to congratulate Heather, and thank Ambassador Nikki Haley for her great service to our Country!"

Nauert thanked the President for the nomination and posted: "Thank you, Mr. President, for your confidence in me. I am humbled by your intent to nominate me as @USUN Ambassador and, if confirmed, look forward to continuing the outstanding job Amb. Haley has done representing your Administration and the American people."
