New York Representative Elise Stefanik has accepted President-elect Trump’s offer to serve as US Ambassador to the United Nations during his term.
“I am honored to nominate Chairwoman Elise Stefanik to serve in my Cabinet as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. Elise is an incredibly strong, tough, and smart America First fighter,” Trump told the NY Post.
“I am truly honored to earn President Trump’s nomination to serve in his Cabinet as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations,” said Stefanik. “During my conversation with President Trump, I shared how deeply humbled I am to accept his nomination and that I look forward to earning the support of my colleagues in the United States Senate.”
CNN reported over the weekend that Trump extended the offer to Stefanik.
Stefanik, a congresswoman from New York and the fourth-ranking Republican in the House, has been a prominent supporter of Trump. Known for her steadfast alignment with the president-elect’s agenda, she has played a major role as a GOP fundraiser and influential figure within the party.
Stefanik brings a strong Republican voice to the U.N., reflecting the Trump administration’s approach to international diplomacy. Her leadership in the House and her alignment with Trump’s policies suggest she could advocate effectively for his foreign policy priorities on the global stage.
Stefanik’s appointment mark a strategic choice by Trump to place an experienced congressional leader in one of the nation’s most prominent diplomatic roles. The decision is part of a broader effort to shape the new administration’s team with allies who have shown dedication to the president-elect’s goals and have the experience to execute his agenda.
Stefanik is a wonderful articulate congressional representative for New Yorkers. Her congressional denunciation of university presidents for their encouragement of attacks against Jews on college campuses was breathtaking. A number of them resigned in disgrace. I hope NY gets a worthy replacement.
