Trump picks Congresswoman Stefanik as US ambassador to UN

On Monday, US President-elect Donald Trump announced his nomination of Republican congresswoman Elise Stefanik to be his country's ambassador to the United Nations. Stefanik is a senior Republican member of the House of Representatives.

As a strong supporter of Trump, she has delivered speeches at Trump's rallies, and was once considered to be a candidate for Trump's running mate. Trump described her as an "incredibly strong, tough, and smart America First fighter." Trump has been choosing people to fill key posts in the second Trump administration who will implement his important domestic and international agendas.
