Stefanik pledges an ‘America First’ agenda at the UN and a review of US funding

Rep. Elise Stefanik pledged Tuesday to push President Donald Trump’s “America First” stance if confirmed as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and roll out a review of U.S. funding critical for U.N. operations and its many agencies around the world. Noting that the U.S. is the largest single contributor to the United Nations, Stefanik said at her confirmation hearing that the country has to ensure its investments are making America safer, stronger and more prosperous — echoing Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Stefanik to Tout Trump’s Peace Through Strength Agenda in Confirmation Hearing

During Tuesday’s confirmation hearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Murphy tried to use the hoax to drive a wedge between Stefanik and Trump’s administration, but Stefanik corrected the record and ripped Murphy in the process. “What concerns me is that these are the questions you believe are most important to ask to the UN ambassador,” Stefanik shot back when asked if she is concerned about the hoax. “I have a very strong record when it comes to combating antisemitism. We just had a historic election where President Trump earned historic support from American voters because of his strong leadership combating antisemitism, which has been a scourge across the country, skyrocketing since October 7,” she continued.
