The United States Ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, presented her resignation to President Donald Trump, who received it this Tuesday in the White House Oval Office.
The president said Haley had notified him of his decision six months ago when he told him that “after a year or a period of two years she wanted to take some time off.”
Although the reasons for her resignation have not been clarified, the news was accompanied by Trump’s hope that Nikki Haley returns at a time with a different charge.
Sarah Sanders, Press Secretary of the Trump Administration, had announced the meeting through a message on Twitter.

Prior to taking up the position as ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, daughter of Indian immigrants, was governor of South Carolina from 2011 to 2017, and had little international experience.
However, once as United States representative in the United Nations, the Republican became a great defender of the policies of the president as the move of the US Embassy in Israel or the withdrawal of Washington from some multilateral organizations, such as the Council of Human Rights or UNESCO.
