Donald Trump has named South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley as US ambassador to the UN, his team has announced.

She is the first non-white female cabinet-level official appointed within the Trump administration.
Mrs Haley is the daughter of Indian immigrants and had been a vocal critic of Mr Trump on the campaign trail.

The 44-year-old has been characterised as a rising star within the Republican party and is the youngest governor in the US.


Although she eventually voted for Mr Trump, the governor had lamented she was "not a fan" of either him or rival Hillary Clinton.

Mrs Haley endorsed Florida Senator Marco Rubio during the Republican primaries, later throwing her support behind Senator Ted Cruz - Mr Trump's final rival before he became the party's nominee.
