YouTube Description
as posted by the channelRep. 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 the United Nations has not lived up to its founding mission.
“The purpose of the United Nations is to maintain international peace and security, develop friendly relations among nations based on the shared respect for the principle of equal rights, solve international problems and harmonize the actions of nations in the attainment of common ends,” Stefanik said. “The U.N. has not lived up to this founding mission, and we must demand better.”
Stefanik, a loyal ally to President Donald Trump, 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 UN.
