WASHINGTON (AP) — Rep. Elise Stefanik is likely to face questions at her confirmation hearing on Tuesday to become the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations about her lack of foreign policy experience, her strong support for Israel and her views on funding the U.N. and its many agencies.

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) said she would demand reforms and transparency if confirmed to become the next U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, vowing to ensure the organization “serves the interests” of the United States during her confirmation hearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Tuesday.

From the start of her confirmation hearing, Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) pledged to deliver a message to the rest of the world if she becomes the next U.N. ambassador.

During her Senate confirmation hearing, President Trump’s pick for ambassador to the United Nations said she was willing to leverage U.S. contributions to force changes in pursuit of his “America First” agenda.

Elise Stefanik, US President Donald Trump's choice to serve as America's top envoy to the United Nations, has vowed to counter China's ascendant influence and "significant inroads" at the intergovernmental body.

U.S. President Donald Trump "sees great promise in the United Nations if it focuses on its founding mission of international peace and security," his nominee to be ambassador told the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Tuesday.

“No. Elon Musk did not do those salutes,” Stefanik replied. She said that while she was not at the inaugural rally where Musk made the move, she had been to “many” rallies with him and knows he likes to make cheerful gestures. She said it was “simply not the case” that Musk did a Nazi salute.

Elise Stefanik's hearing for the United Nations ambassador position is set for today, as is a hearing for Veterans' Affairs nominee Doug Collins.
