President-elect Donald Trump has named Republican Rep. Elise Stefanikas his pick for UN ambassador.
"I am honored to nominate Chairwoman Elise Stefanik to serve in my Cabinet as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. Elise is an incredibly strong, tough, and smart America First fighter," Trump said in a statement, confirming CNN's reporting Sunday that Stefanik was offered the role.
The New York congresswoman, the fourth-ranking House Republican, has been a strong ally of the president-elect and a major fundraiser for the GOP.
Trump has tapped former New York congressman Lee Zeldin to run the US Environmental Protection Agency.
Zeldin said on his social media accounts that he was honored to join Trump's cabinet as EPA administrator.
