E-mailApril 24 (Reuters) - The U.S. State Department has appointed Tommy Pigott as its spokesperson, the department said in a statement on Friday.
Pigott joined the department and President Donald Trump's administration in January 2025 as Trump began his second term in the White House, and had been serving as principal deputy spokesperson.
The position had been empty since Trump appointed Tammy Bruce as U.S. deputy representative to the United Nations.
"As spokesperson, Pigott will speak directly to audiences in the United States and around the world on how, under the leadership of Secretary Marco Rubio, the State Department is advancing President Trump's foreign policy," the statement said.
The department said Pigott has almost a decade of communications experience and previously worked on Trump's 2024 election campaign and at the Republican National Committee.
