President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York to be the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. Stefanik, a staunch Trump ally and chairwoman of the House Republican Conference, accepted the nomination, expressing her honor and readiness for the role. Known for her assertive questioning in congressional hearings, she has been a key figure in the GOP and a strong advocate of Trump's 'America First' policies. Her nomination is seen as a strategic move to bolster the administration's foreign policy stance on the global stage. Stefanik's confirmation will require approval by the Senate, where she is expected to be a combative presence. This appointment follows Trump's historic electoral win, setting a tone for his incoming administration.
