Trump's UN ambassador nominee Elise Stefanik says he sees 'great promise' in the United Nations

President Trump sees “great promise" in the United Nations, according to his U.N. ambassador nominee Elise Stefanik, who is expected to promise to bring “reform" to the organization.

She will pledge to support Israel – as it faces chronic criticism for the war in Gaza – and work to ensure the agency is using U.S. tax dollars to advance U.S. interests.

"As the world faces crisis after crisis, with hostages including Americans still held in Hamas' captivity, to national security challenges ranging from China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran, it has never been more critical for the United States to lead with strength and moral clarity," Stefanik plans to say. 

"As a Member of Congress, I also understand deeply that we must be good stewards of U.S. taxpayer dollars. The U.S. is the largest contributor to the U.N. by far. Our tax dollars should not be complicit in propping up entities that are counter to American interests, antisemitic, or engaging in fraud, corruption, or terrorism."
