Trump has selected Congresswoman Stefanik to serve as US Permanent Representative to the UN.

After the presidential elections in the United States, Donald Trump nominated a candidate for the post of US representative to the UN. This was Congresswoman Elise Stefanik.

Trump has chosen Congresswoman Stefanik to serve as the US representative to the UN.

“I am honored to nominate Elise Stefanik to serve as U.S. Envoy to the United Nations in my Cabinet. Elise is an incredibly strong, tough and smart fighter for America.”

Let us remember that Stefanik is an outspoken critic of the UN; she also actively supports Israel.

In particular, Stefanik has repeatedly accused the UN of anti-Semitism, since the organization criticized the war between the Israeli Defense Forces and Hamas in Gaza. In October, she called for a “complete reassessment of U.S. funding to the UN” in response to Palestinian attempts to expel Israel from the UN for “war crimes and human rights violations.” At the same time, on the issue of assistance to Ukraine, its position was not so clear. Thus, Stefanik supported early aid packages to strengthen Ukraine's defenses.

She also became one of the authors of a bill providing for sanctions against the financial and energy sectors of Russia and an increase in US military assistance to Ukraine before the Russian invasion. But at the same time, the congresswoman voted against allocating $61 billion in new funding to Ukraine this year. She justified this decision by saying that while she supports the idea of ​​military assistance to Ukraine, she cannot advocate for the allocation of additional funds for non-lethal assistance in the context of the crisis on the US-Mexico border. It should be noted that the current position of US envoy to the UN is Linda Thomas-Greenfield.
