US Senate begins hearing on Trump’s UN ambassador nominee
The US Senate begins a hearing on President-elect Donald Trump’s choice for UN ambassador Nikki Haley.
Haley plans to open her comments with a broadside against UN treatment of Israel, according to a transcript of the remarks obtained by Reuters ahead of the hearings.
“Nowhere has the UN’s failure been more consistent and more outrageous than in its bias against our close ally Israel,” Haley, who has been the governor of South Carolina since 2011, will say, according to Reuters.
