New York: US President Donald Trump is “CEO of the country, he can fire anyone he wants”, America’s envoy to the UN Nikki Haley has said, while defending him for firing former FBI director James Comey. Haley said she believed that the criticism of Trump stems from discomfort with his propensity to act on his decisions. “The president is the CEO of the country,” Indian-origin Haley told ABC News chief anchor George Stephanopoulos on This Week on Sunday. “The reason people are uncomfortable is because he acts.”Asked whether the president sought a pledge of loyalty from her, Haley replied, “No”. “A missile test is not the way to sit down with the president,” Haley said.
