Summary: On February 16, 2019, Heather Nauert, the current Acting Undersecretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs of the United States withdrew her name from consideration as the new U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. Despite only working within politics for two years, she was Trump's pick to become the next U.S. ambassador. Formerly working for Fox News from 1998 to 2005, and returned in 2007 as a presenter for Fox & Friends after working for ABC for two years. Nauert came forth about her withdrawal on Saturday, explaining that the decision was made final "in the best interest for my family", although anonymous sources told the media that Nauert may have withdrawn after the White House was given information that Nauert's family had employed an immigrant nanny who was legally allowed to be in the U.S., but did not have the correct work visa.

Analysis: Looking back on previous U.S. ambassadors to the United Nations like George H. W. Bush and Susan Rice, who both had long-standing political backgrounds before being considered for the U.S. ambassador position, it's interesting that Trump would choose someone who had only truly been in politics for about two years. Before I read this article, I heard about Nauert's withdrawal the night before, but didn't think much of it. This article was written by the writing staff at BBC (the names weren't listed), and this article was written as a way to further explain the details surrounding Heather Nauert's mysterious withdrawal from the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. This article can be related back to when David Rank resigned from his position as the Acting U.S. ambassador in China over Trump's wishes to withdraw from the Paris climate accord.
