Elise Stefanik Pledges 'America First' Agenda at UN in Senate Confirmation Hearing
Jan 21, 2025, 04:45 PM
On January 21, 2025, Elise Stefanik, nominated by President Donald Trump for U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, where she was introduced by Senators Tom Cotton and Shelley Moore Capito. During the hearing, Stefanik pledged to implement an 'America First' agenda at the UN, emphasizing the need to address what she described as the UN's 'antisemitic rot' and anti-Israel bias. She stated that Israel has a 'biblical right' to the entire West Bank and expressed support for defunding UNRWA. Stefanik also defended Elon Musk against antisemitism allegations and cited her grilling of college heads as evidence of her commitment to defend Israel. When questioned, she refused to affirm that Palestinians have a right to self-determination. Stefanik received bipartisan praise during the hearing, and various senators and representatives expressed support for her confirmation.
