‘Trump’s Unpredictability Was Asset in UN Diplomacy’: Nikki Haley

Washington: Outgoing US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley has said that President Donald Trump’s unpredictability and mercurial nature was often an asset in UN diplomacy. “If I need to pick up the phone and say this is what I’m gonna to do, are you good with this? We kind of partnered in that,” she said in an interview on Wednesday. “And so he would like ratchet up the rhetoric and then I would go back to the ambassadors and say, ‘You know he is pretty upset. I can’t promise you what he is going to do. I’ll tell you, if we do these sanctions, it will keep him from going too far’,” Politico quoted Haley as saying. (IANS)
