US President Donald Trump announced Thursday that the White House spokeswoman would leave her job at the end of the month.

"After 3 1/2 years, our wonderful Sarah Huckabee Sanders will be leaving the White House at the end of the month and going home to the Great State of Arkansas," he tweeted.

"....She is a very special person with extraordinary talents, who has done an incredible job! I hope she decides to run for Governor of Arkansas - she would be fantastic. Sarah, thank you for a job well done!"

Sanders was applauded at a White House event on Thursday.

She tweeted that she was grateful to the president.
