WASHINGTON, DC – Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV), a member of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, met with Congresswoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY-21), President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for Ambassador to the United Nations. During their meeting, they discussed a wide array of issues related to maintaining US leadership at the UN, including the need to continue supporting Israel at the United Nations.
“Today, I had the pleasure of meeting with Congresswoman Elise Stefanik to discuss her nomination to be U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, and how she plans to support our allies and stand up to our adversaries in this international body,” said Senator Rosen. “We also discussed the United Nations’ anti-Israel bias, and how she plans to push back on politically-motivated actions against our democratic ally. I look forward to working with her in this role to support American diplomacy around the world and strengthen our national security.”
Senator Rosen has been a strong leader in the push to protect international security, advance American security interests, and support United Nations member states such as Israel and Ukraine. She helped pass critical aid to support Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan and respond to humanitarian crises around the globe. She previously urged the United Nations to designate Hamas as a terrorist organization and impose sanctions against them and condemned their inaction in addressing Hamas’s sexual violence against women.
