US President-elect Donald Trump has extended an offer to Republican Representative Elise Stefanik for the position of US ambassador to the United Nations, CNN reported.

"President-Elect Trump will begin making decisions on who will serve in his second Administration soon. Those decisions will be announced when they are made," Karoline Leavitt, a spokeswoman for Trump-Vance team was quoted as saying by news agency Reuters.

Trump announced on Saturday that neither Nikki Haley nor former US secretary of state Mike Pompeo would be invited to join his administration.

During Trump's previous term, Haley served as US ambassador to the United Nations. Despite her sharp criticism during the party primaries when she competed against him, she later endorsed Trump's presidential bid.

Trump is currently conducting meetings with potential administration candidates ahead of his January 20 inauguration.
