Donald Trump picks Nikki Haley to be U.N. Ambassador
President-elect Donald Trump announced Wednesday that he was nominating South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, calling her a “proven dealmaker” who knows how to bring people together. The Republican governor was an outspoken critic of Mr. Trump during the presidential campaign and one of many former foes the president-elect has reached out to during the transition process.
Mrs. Haley also is the first woman and first non-white tapped for a Cabinet post in the Trump administration. She is the American-born daughter of Indian immigrants.
“Governor Haley has a proven track record of bringing people together regardless of background or party affiliation to move critical policies forward for the betterment of her state and our country,” Mr. Trump said. “She is also a proven dealmaker, and we look to be making plenty of deals. She will be a great leader representing us on the world stage.”
Mrs. Haley, who has long been viewed as a rising star in the Republican Party, said that she was honored to be asked to join the Trump administration.
“Our country faces enormous challenges here at home and internationally, and I am honored that the President-elect has asked me to join his team and serve the country we love as the next Ambassador to the United Nations,” Mrs. Haley said in a statement.
