Trump appoints Stefanik as US ambassador to the United Nations: report
President-elect Trump has reportedly selected Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., to serve as the United States’ ambassador to the United Nations. In a statement to the New York Post, Trump expressed his confidence in Stefanik, referring to her as a strong, tough, and smart advocate for America First policies.
Stefanik, who currently serves as the chairwoman of the House Republican Conference, has accepted the nomination with gratitude. In her own statement to the outlet, she expressed her honor at being chosen for the role and her commitment to earning the support of her colleagues in the Senate. She emphasized the importance of President Trump’s leadership in advancing America’s interests both domestically and internationally.
As the fourth-highest ranking House Republican, Stefanik is a familiar face on television where she champions GOP positions on various issues, including support for Israel and criticism of what she calls the “Biden Crime Family.” In contrast, the current U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Linda Thomas-Greenfield of the Biden-Harris administration, maintains a lower profile in the media.
Stefanik’s recent reelection to her sixth term in the House was marked by her public statements on rising antisemitism, particularly following terrorist attacks on Israel. She has been vocal in holding Ivy League universities accountable for addressing this issue on college campuses.
Looking ahead to her new role as ambassador, Stefanik is focused on restoring America’s leadership on the world stage. She believes that the past four years have seen a weakening of U.S. national security and a decline in the country’s global standing. With a commitment to President Trump’s vision of America First diplomacy, she is prepared to lead from day one at the United Nations.
In conclusion, Stefanik’s nomination as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations marks a significant step in President-elect Trump’s administration. Her background as a strong advocate for conservative values and her experience in Congress position her as a capable representative for American interests on the international stage.
