Nikki Haley to represent the U.S. at the world body, even as they grappled to understand what international diplomacy might look like under a Trump administration. Ambassador Matthew Rycroft said he looked forward to working closely with Haley, praising her track record "as governor of South Carolina." Ambassador Ismael Abraao Gaspar Martins offered only a guarded welcome to Haley, saying his country was "ready to work with anybody, provided they had an open mind." Russian Deputy Ambassador Petr Illichev's only comment to reporters on the Haley pick was: "It's his choice." If confirmed, Haley would be the fifth woman to serve as the U.S. permanent representative to the U.N.
