Forums - Politics - New US envoy to UN 'We're taking names'

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-un-idUSKBN15B1NG

The new U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, pledged on Friday to overhaul the world body and warned U.S. allies that if they do not support Washington, then she is "taking names" and will respond.

Haley made brief remarks to reporters as she arrived at the world body's headquarters in New York to present her credentials to U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.

"Our goal with the administration is to show value at the U.N. and the way that we'll show value is to show our strength, show our voice, have the backs of our allies and make sure that our allies have our back as well," Haley said.

"For those that don't have our back, we're taking names, we will make points to respond to that accordingly," added Republican President Donald Trump's U.N. envoy.

Haley, who was South Carolina's Republican governor when Trump picked her for the post, has little foreign policy and no U.S. federal government experience.

Its not a good look to see this happen. Its like the US is taking a bully position in the UN when they don't need to be. Not to mention according to her she is going to make changes to the UN. I just don't see anything good coming from this attitude.

Uh huh. I'm sure that's going to improve relations and increase influence in the long run, because surely no one's going to retaliate on that in any manner.



Oh yes, what really gets people to rally around is passive aggressiveness. Well done Trumpo.

Way to build trust and relations between members, there Haley.

I guess the only real comfort from this is that the US isn't the only one who will eat the crap sandwich. We're going to make sure the rest of the world eats it too. So all those guys not from the US who are applauding Trump... open wide. You're getting some of this too.



He is preparing to gut the UN. How catastrophic would that be to our world influence? Let's make the world hate us again. It was nice having the "cool" president for 8 years.

The sad part is that I can totally see this happening. He wanted freaking missile and tank parades for his inauguration. Like the kind North Korea and Russia have.



So she's taking notes? Does she really think that that means anything?

lol
