According to reports by CNN, former President Donald Trump has offered Representative Elise Stefanik the position of U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. Stefanik, a Republican from New York and a strong critic of the U.N.'s perceived anti-American and anti-Israel bias, is being considered for the role. The appointment is expected to bring a more combative presence to the international body, with expectations that she would make assertive speeches and potentially ruffle feathers on the global stage. The offer underscores Trump's intent to install a figure who aligns with his foreign policy approach.
