‘I Don’t Get Confused,’ Nikki Haley Says, Rebuffing White House in Sanctions Dispute
New York Times ^ | 4-17-2018 | MARK LANDLER and PETER BAKER

WEST PALM BEACH FLORIDA-Nikki R. Haley, the ambassador to the United Nations, fired back at the White House on Tuesday, denying that she had been confused when she announced on Sunday that the Trump administration would impose new sanctions on Russia.

"With all due respect, I don't get confused," she told Dana Perino of Fox News.

She was responding to a comment earlier in the day by Larry Kudlow, the president's new economic advisor who was briefing reporters in Florida before President Trump's meeting with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe of Japan.

"She got ahead of the curve,” Mr. Kudlow said. “She’s done a great job. She’s a very effective ambassador, but there might have been some momentary confusion about that.”

On Monday, White House officials said Mr. Trump had not yet decided whether to impose sanctions on Russian companies found to be assisting Syria’s chemical weapons program. That contradicted Ms. Haley, who had said a day earlier that the president would take that step.

Mr. Kudlow was the first senior White House official to place the blame directly on Ms. Haley...

There is only room for one boss. Nikki has contradicted the president twice recently. Once about the sanctions and once about getting our troops out of Syria.

I think it is stupid blaming Niki. I suggest Kelly is not syncing the “White House” message all around the White House and likely not even Pompeo, at State, which the U.N. Ambassador is part of. I imagine Niki was not confused and knew what she had heard from who she speaks to at the White House. Whomever at the White House that had discussed it with Niki had apparently not heard the last on it from Trump.

“Neocon Niki” someone here posted. On what basis???

Regardless of the source of the sanctions discrepancy, the president’s plan to pull our troops out of Syria was clear and Nikki flatly contradicted him.

“Regardless of the source of the sanctions discrepancy, the president’s plan to pull our troops out of Syria was clear and Nikki flatly contradicted him.”

Was that after he said we were pulling out as soon as possible and before a changed course on that? It is Trump himself that has dodged and weaved on that.

She’s a showboat. It wasn’t much of a criticism by Kudlow. He didn’t say she was confused.

FIRE HER!

Or downgrade the position.

Make Haley report to Pompeo rather than Trump and she'll quit of her own volition.

The only woman more orgasmic about war was Hillary when she talked about killing ghadaffi.

I never liked this woman. She is a globalist shill

Yeah. I can’t bring myself to hate her. She’s trying to cope with some very difficult situations at home and abroad, and while I might not agree with everything she says and does, once upon a time conservatives applauded Daniel Moynihan and Jeane Kirkpatrick for taking firm stands at the UN.

You mean like, ever, Nikki? I’m pretty sure every human has experienced confusion.

Nikki Haley has done a fantastic job as U.N. ambassador. She takes no prisoners and lets other countries know that she puts America first.

Concur

First mistake President Trump made was hiring her.

There is no active Syrian chemical weapons program, so any sanctions related to such a program are based on a false assumption.
