트럼프, 차기 유엔대사로 헤더 나워트 국무부 대변인 지명 니키 헤일리는 연말까지 도널드 트럼프 미국 대통령이 올해 말 사임을 앞두고 있는 니키 헤일리 유엔 주재 미국 대사 후임으로 헤더 나워트(48) 미 국무부 대변인을 지명하기로 결정했다고 6일(현지 시각) 블룸버그 등 현지 언론들이 소식통을 인용해 보도했다.  이날 폭스뉴스는 복수의 소식통을 인용해 "트럼프 대통령은 금요일 오전에 헤더 나워트 국무부 대변인을 니키 헤일리를 대신할 유엔 주재 미국 대사로 임명한다는 소식을 트위터에 남길 것"이라고 보도했다.  출처 : http://news.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2018/12/07/2018120701064.html

Mr. Trump said on Friday morning she is "very talented, very smart, very quick." 

Nauert has been on the short list for ambassador to the U.N. since Haley announced that she was stepping down from her post in October. Formerly a Fox News anchor, she came to the administration in 2017. She will have to be confirmed by the Senate to become ambassador to the U.N.

Although some have speculated that Haley may challenge Mr. Trump in 2020, Haley has said that she will support the president.

"I can promise you what I will be doing is campaigning for this one. So I look forward to supporting the president in the next election," Haley said at a press conference while sitting next to Mr. Trump.

If Heather Nauert is confirmed, she will be taking the position at a challenging time for the U.N. because the Trump administration has cut funding of many programs and withdrawn from several international agreements.

Nauert would become the U.S. top multilateral negotiator as the the powerful 15-nation Security Council is stymied on many of the world's biggest crises, including non-proliferation of nuclear weapons, the conflict in Syria, on how to handle North Korea, on Russian aggression in Ukraine, on the Middle East, and most recently on the crisis in Yemen, CBS News' Pamela Falk reports from the U.N.

The U.N. has had several female ambassadors from the U.S. The post is not always a Cabinet-level position.
