Elise Stefanik has been appointed as US ambassador to the United Nations.
The appointment was announced by the United States, US, President-elect, Donald Trump.
Trump described Stefanik as tough, strong, and a smart fighter.
“I am honoured to nominate Chairwoman Elise Stefanik to serve in my Cabinet as US Ambassador to the United Nations. Elise is an incredibly strong, tough, and smart America First fighter,” Trump said.
Stefanik, a New York representative and House Republican Conference chair, has been a fierce Trump ally.

The president-elect had named Susie Wiles, the manager of his victorious campaign, as his chief of staff.
Wiles becomes the first woman to hold the influential role.
