The White House has reportedly found U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley's successor.
President Trump has offered the job of U.N. ambassador to State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert, ABC News reports. Asked about the report on Thursday, Trump said a final decision has not been made but that Nauert is under "very serious consideration." CNN, meanwhile, reports that Nauert has not been formally offered the job but is the leading choice and is likely to be offered it this week.
