Nikki Haley needs State Department approval for future statements: Report

Published



U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley will have less freedom to make public remarks on foreign policy going forward, according to a new report.

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson wants Haley to run her remarks by State Department officials “if they are on a high-profile issue such as Syria, Iran, Israel-Palestine, or the D.P.R.K.,” according to an email quoted in the New York Times. On other issues, she is to rely on the “building blocks” generated by State Department writers.
