Nauert was State Department spokeswoman when Trump chose her for the UN position after working as a host for the conservative-leaning Fox News Channel. The White House had no information on who might be the next in line for the UN job. The White House had not yet formally submitted Nauert's nomination to the Senate. Nauert joined the State Department as spokeswoman in April 2017, three months into the Trump administration. The role of US ambassador to the United Nations is a highly visible international position.
