0:45Now PlayingRep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., President Donald Trump’s nominee to be ambassador to the U.N., said Tuesday in her confirmation hearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that she’s concerned about China’s influence over the United Nations.
In response to a question by Sen. Dave McCormick, R-Pa., Stefanik said the U.S. should work to strengthen its relationships with partners and allies “to ensure that [China] is not able to make inroads at the most senior levels of these technical organizations, and of agencies across the UN writ large.”
Stefanik, a loyal Trump ally, is chair of the House Republican Conference, and was the youngest woman ever elected to Congress when she won her seat in 2014. While she has little foreign policy experience, Stefanik has been vocal about Israel and its war with Hamas. She has called for a “complete reassessment” of the U.S.’s funding for the U.N.
