What’s next for outgoing United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley? “I don’t know,” she said Tuesday in an interview in Washington. “I have some ideas.”
One of them is a book, says the former South Carolina governor. “I’ve always found writing a book to be therapeutic. My first book was unbelievably therapeutic,” said Haley, referencing her 2012 book on her life and first run for governor, titled Can’t Is Not An Option. “I think, I would probably want to do another one just to kind of talk more about what I’ve seen, what I’ve lived, or what I’ve learned.”
Haley announced in October she would be leaving her post in the Trump administration at the end of the year. Haley said she and her family will remain in New York for the next two years, until her son finishes high school there. The 46-year-old Republican insists she is “completely focused” on finishing her job at the U.N. until December 31.
“In January, that’s when I’m going to focus on, okay, what do I want to be when I grow up?” she said.
Haley insists she would like to remain active on national policy. “I think that I will always have a voice when it comes to defending America and when it comes to fighting for our values or fighting for human rights,” she said. “I would love to look at getting involved in a think tank.”
