Trump chooses State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce for the role of UN deputy representative
Trump Nominates Tammy Bruce as Deputy Representative to the United Nations
President Donald Trump has nominated Tammy Bruce, a longtime conservative commentator and bestselling author, to become the next Deputy Representative to the United Nations, with the rank of Ambassador. Bruce, who currently serves as the spokesperson for the State Department, has been with the administration since Trump took office.
Trump described Bruce as a "highly respected political analyst who understood the power and importance of 'MAGA' early on" when he chose her for the State Department. The nomination comes as the Senate is on recess, leaving Trump's over 150 confirmation nominations in its wake.
In her role in U.S. foreign policy, Bruce has emphasized Trump's proactive involvement in resolving long-standing conflicts globally. She cites peace deals involving multiple nations and the Abraham Accords as examples of Trump's diplomatic achievements. Bruce stresses Trump's realistic and diplomatic approach, willing to take necessary actions to end wars and foster peace.
Under her communication, the administration scaled back the human rights report to focus on streamlined, less politicized content, reflecting the administration's foreign policy priorities.
Regarding Russia's response to President Trump's ceasefire deadline, Bruce views it as part of a broader diplomatic effort in which Trump is committed to mediating peace and ending conflicts, including the war in Ukraine. She emphasizes that Trump is a "president of peace" actively engaging in negotiations with Russia and other nations to achieve durable peace agreements. Bruce has defended Trump's diplomatic achievements, including the upcoming Trump-Putin summit initiated by Putin, described as a preliminary "feel-out" rather than a negotiation, with further sharing of outcomes planned with EU, NATO, and Ukraine’s President Zelenskyy.
Last week, Bruce warned Russia on our website to take Trump "seriously" on his deadline for a ceasefire. She also discussed former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev's response to President Trump moving his ceasefire deadline.
Dorothy Shea is the current acting ambassador to the United Nations. If confirmed, Bruce will replace Shea in the role. Bruce's nomination comes as Trump's nominee for U.N. ambassador, Mike Waltz, is still awaiting confirmation.
In addition to her work in foreign policy, Bruce has defended the Trump administration's immigration policies and its positions on the wars in Ukraine and Gaza. Bruce's nomination to the United Nations reflects her commitment to the administration's vision of diplomatic realism centered on peace and conflict resolution.
