McConnell Statement on Ambassador Haley

‘Her tenure will be remembered for her proud reassertion of American moral leadership and her fearless willingness to turn a bright spotlight on critical challenges, from Israel’s sovereignty to Iran’s sponsorship of regional violence. Ambassador Haley has been a key part of the administration’s team that has faced down a wide variety of critical challenges, and done so with distinction.’

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) delivered the following remarks today on the Senate floor regarding U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley:

“First, I want to convey a few words of thanks to our dedicated Ambassador to the United Nations, who we just learned will be stepping down at the end of this year. Our nation has benefited greatly from the tough, skilled leadership that Nikki Haley brought to the United Nations.

“Her tenure will be remembered for her proud reassertion of American moral leadership and her fearless willingness to turn a bright spotlight on critical challenges, from Israel’s sovereignty to Iran’s sponsorship of regional violence. Ambassador Haley has been a key part of the administration’s team that has faced down a wide variety of critical challenges, and done so with distinction.

“She took on this role after an impressive six years as Governor of South Carolina, and quickly proved to be both a skillful advocate for our national interest and a forceful spokeswoman for our principles. I hope this is not the end of Ambassador Haley’s distinguished career in public service. I thank her for her significant contributions.”
