U.S. President Donald Trump has formally submitted to the Senate the nomination of Kelly Craft to serve as the next U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. Craft is currently Washington's ambassador to Canada. In February, Trump had said he had selected Craft for the UN job. Craft, a Kentucky native, was a member of the U.S. delegation to the UN General Assembly under president George W. Bush's administration. As U.S. ambassador to Canada, Craft played a role in facilitating the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement, a revamp of the North American Free Trade Agreement.
