In addition, President Trump also denied rumors that he would appoint his daughter Ivanka to this position.
The information was revealed by President Trump to reporters at the White House before leaving for an event in Iowa, hours after he announced Ambassador Haley would resign.
He said Ms. Haley would help him make the final choice on her replacement.
Ms. Powell served as deputy national security adviser for strategy during Mr. Trump’s first year in office and was a key figure in diplomatic efforts in the Middle East.
She returned to Goldman Sachs — where she worked for more than a decade — earlier this year.
In addition, Ms. Powell was also an important figure in the US State Department during President George W. Bush's tenure.
