According to the US president, Haley told him about her impending resignation six months ago. Trump added that he was considering several candidates for Haley's job and that the next US ambassador would be named in two or three weeks.
Haley, 46, was governor of South Carolina and the first woman to hold the post. In 2017 she was named the US envoy to the United Nations.
