It is reported by Reuters, referring to the words of Trump.
The American president noted that Nikki Haley will help him choose the candidacy of a new permanent representative, which the Senate must approve.
Trump also dispelled rumors that he was going to appoint his daughter Ivanka as a permanent representative to the UN.
Powell previously worked in the Trump administration as first deputy presidential adviser on national security. She was born to a Coptic Christian family who emigrated to the United States when she was 4 years old.
Earlier it was reported that Haley will resign from the post of US Permanent Representative to the UN at the end of 2018.
Maria Zakharova, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, commented on this decision in an interview with Nation News.
