The Senate has confirmed Mike Waltz to be the next US ambassador to the United Nations, filling the last vacancy in President Donald Trump’s Cabinet after eight months of delays and the withdrawal of a previous nominee.
The bipartisan vote for Mr Waltz came after a recent procedural hurdle sent his nomination back to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, where it had to be voted on again on Wednesday.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for clarification.
