DONALD Trump’s second wife Marla Maples is hoping to become a UN ambassador in Africa after her ex-husband’s election, according to reports.

The 52-year-old model and actor was spotted at Trump Tower in New York on Wednesday where the President-elect has been hosting future members of his administration.

A source told the New York Post that she “has been very interested in philanthropy for a long time,” and is keen on an assignment in Africa.

Separately, the Czech president said on Wednesday that Donald Trump “could not send a better US ambassador to Prague” than his socialite ex-wife Ivana.

His announcement comes days after Ivana Trump the New York Post that she’d love to take on the ambassador role for the Czech Republic, her home country.

“[That] is where I’m from and my language and everybody knows me. I’m quite known all around the world. Not only in America. I have written three books, and they were translated in 40 countries in 25 languages. I’m known by the name Ivana. I really did not need the name Trump.”
