Outgoing US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley has said that President Donald Trump\u2019s unpredictability and mercurial nature was often an asset in UN diplomacy.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I need to pick up the phone and say this is what I\u2019m gonna to do, are you good with this? We kind of partnered in that,\u201d she said in an interview on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd so he would like ratchet up the rhetoric and then I would go back to the ambassadors and say, \u2018You know he is pretty upset. I can\u2019t promise you what he is going to do. I\u2019ll tell you, if we do these sanctions, it will keep him from going too far\u2019,\u201d Politico quoted Haley as saying.<\/p>\n
By harnessing Trump\u2019s unpredictability to her advantage in diplomatic negotiations, Haley said she was just \u201ctrying to get the job done. by being truthful but also by letting him be unpredictable and not showing our cards\u201d.<\/p>\n
Haley denied on Wednesday that she was leaving after two years on the job because she had higher political ambitions or because of Special Counsel Robert Mueller\u2019s probe into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, telling in the interview that her life had been a series of \u201cfun surprises\u201d and that she looked forward to \u201csleeping in\u201d.<\/p>\n
The former Governor of South Carolina also defended Trump\u2019s nominee to succeed her, current State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert, who has been criticised by some for her relative lack of foreign policy experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
