Nikki Haley sends message to countries: ‘We’re taking names’

Nikki Haley, President Trump’s new U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said Friday she’s “taking names” of countries “that don’t have our back.”

“We have hit the ground running. There is a new US-U.N.,” Haley said during a Friday press conference at the U.N. headquarters in New York City. “Our goal with the administration is to show value at the U.N. And the way that we’ll show value is to show our strength, show our voice, have the backs of our allies and make sure that our allies have our back as well. For those that don’t have our back, we’re taking names. We will make points to respond to that accordingly.”
