Trump nominates Canada envoy for UN post
Kelly Knight Craft, current U.S. ambassador to Canada, would fill post vacated by Nikki Haley if confirmed
By Servet Gunerigok
WASHINGTON (AA) - President Donald Trump said Friday he is nominating current U.S. Ambassador to Canada Kelly Knight Craft as Washington's next UN envoy.
"Kelly has done an outstanding job representing our Nation and I have no doubt that, under her leadership, our Country will be represented at the highest level. Congratulations to Kelly and her entire family!" Trump said on Twitter.
The announcement comes days after State Department Spokeswoman Heather Nauert withdrew from consideration for the role.
Last December, Trump announced he was picking Nauert for the UN job to replace Nikki Haley, but the formal nomination had not been sent to the Senate.
If confirmed by the Senate, Craft would play a leading role in executing the U.S.'s international agenda.
