President-elect Donald Trump has offered Rep. Elise Stefanik, chair of the House Republican Conference, the role of US ambassador to the United Nations in his upcoming administration, CNN reported.
Republican Senator Mike Lawler congratulated Stefanik and wrote that she "will take the United Nations by storm, take on the anti-US and Israel bigotry, combat Jew-hatred and hold adversaries to account."
"Elise will be a strong voice advancing U.S. foreign policy and helping to re-establish America’s leading role in the world," Lawler added.
Jason Brodsky, policy director at United Against Nuclear Iran, wrote that the congresswoman, who is "a big proponent of maximum pressure on Iran's regime," would be "an excellent UN ambassador."
