Rep. Elise Stefanik opened her confirmation hearing Tuesday for U.S. ambassador to the United Nations by pledging to implement President Donald Trump’s “America First” mandate and roll out a review of U.

During her Senate confirmation hearing, President Trump’s pick for ambassador to the United Nations said she was willing to leverage U.S. contributions to force changes in pursuit of his “America First” agenda.

From the start of her confirmation hearing, Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) pledged to deliver a message to the rest of the world if she becomes the next U.N. ambassador.

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) said she would demand reforms and transparency if confirmed to become the next U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, vowing to ensure the organization “serves the interests” of the United States during her confirmation hearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Tuesday.

While the ceasefire in Gaza holds, violence has flared in the occupied West Bank, where Israeli settlers separately rampaged through Palestinian villages.

President Trump is expected to attend an inaugural prayer service at Washington National Cathedral, meet with Republican leaders, and continue to work on executive and congressional actions on Day

Elise Stefanik's hearing for the United Nations ambassador position is set for today, as is a hearing for Veterans' Affairs nominee Doug Collins.

U.S. President Donald Trump "sees great promise in the United Nations if it focuses on its founding mission of international peace and security," his nominee to be ambassador told the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Tuesday.

Elise Stefanik, US President Donald Trump's choice to serve as America's top envoy to the United Nations, has vowed to counter China's ascendant influence and "significant inroads" at the intergovernmental body.

Rep. Elise Stefanik is likely to face questions at her confirmation hearing to become the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations about her lack of foreign policy experience, her strong support for Israel and her views on funding the U.

“No. Elon Musk did not do those salutes,” Stefanik replied. She said that while she was not at the inaugural rally where Musk made the move, she had been to “many” rallies with him and knows he likes to make cheerful gestures. She said it was “simply not the case” that Musk did a Nazi salute.
