Trump picks Stefanik as his Ambassador to the U.N.

Elise Stefanik has been chosen as the Ambassador to United Nations by the new Trump administration in the United States.

Elise is an incredibly strong, tough, and smart America First fighter,” Mr. Trump was quoted by news organisations as saying after he made an announcement on the matter on Monday.

Earlier, Trump had said that he would not be considering Nikki Haley, who had held the job in his first stint as the President of the United States. Haley was not on the side of Trump in the election.

Forty-year-old Ms. Stefanik serves as House Republican Conference Chair, and is said to be one of President-elect Trump's most loyal allies in the House.
