Nov 11, 2024, 02:40 AM

President Donald Trump has offered Congresswoman Elise Stefanik the position of U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, according to multiple sources. Stefanik, a Republican representative from New York, is viewed as a potentially combative presence in the role. She has been a strong advocate for a hardline stance against Iran, which aligns with her previous statements on the matter. The consideration of Stefanik for this significant diplomatic post reflects Trump's ongoing strategy to consolidate influence within the Republican Party and among his allies in Congress.
