United Nations ambassador candidate Elise Stefanik will appear at her Senate confirmation hearing on Tuesday to advocate for President Donald Trump's strong America-first peace policy, Breitbart News reported.
Stefanik gained attention in the House of Representatives in 2021, replacing Liz Cheney as chair of the Republican Conference. She then played a pivotal role in the Republican effort to regain control of the House during the 2022 midterm elections. Earlier this year, the New York congressman was the leading Republican focused on eradicating anti-Semitism on college campuses.
Stefanik will now focus her energies on serving the Trump administration as ambassador to the United Nations. She accepted Trump's nomination for the job on Nov. 11, one of the first nominations he communicated after his landslide victory.
Stefanik is scheduled to say the following in his opening remarks before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee at 10 a.m.
If confirmed, I will work to ensure that our mission to the United Nations serves the interests of the American people and embodies President Trump's America First Peace philosophy through a strong foreign policy.
As hostages, including Americans, remain held by Hamas and the world faces one crisis after another, including national security challenges ranging from China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran, the United States remains strong and powerful. It is more important than ever to provide guidance. Moral clarity. This is especially important regarding Israel, our most cherished ally, which marked the bloodiest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust on October 7, 2023.
I also deeply understand that, as a member of Congress, I must be a good steward of American taxpayers. The United States is by far the largest contributor to the United Nations. Our tax dollars should not be complicit in supporting groups that are against American interests, anti-Semitic, or involved in fraud, corruption, or terrorism.
We must strengthen our national security and invest in programs that deliver results. We must push for reforms to increase the effectiveness of United Nations programs. If confirmed, I will be the first U.N. ambassador from Congress in more than 20 years. He also has a deep respect and understanding of the legislative oversight and spending role. I look forward to leveraging the strong relationships between the House and Senate to bring about much-needed reforms.
Stefanik previously previewed his agenda, if confirmed, at Middle East Truth magazine's annual banquet.
Stefanik cited examples of bad behavior by the United Nations, including UN Women. delete The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees issued a post condemning Hamas's October 7 attack. included Hamas officials and the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs are pushing data from the Ministry of Health. Health institutions are heavily influenced by Hamas.
