Nikki Haley sends out distress signal to the nation

It was a statement met with disbelief in many parts, and more than a little consternation from Haley herself, who responded: "With all due respect, I don't get confused".

President Trump was watching television on Sunday when he saw Nikki R. Haley, his ambassador to the United Nations, announce that he would impose fresh sanctions on Russian Federation.

"It turns out no one made the announcement because Trump scrapped any new sanctions against Russian Federation, overruling his advisers". Trump is wary that Haley's grandstanding at the United Nations is more about advancing her political reputation among the Republican Party with a view to launch a run for the presidency in 2020.

The reasons why Haley refused to take the heat for Sunday's miscommunication became clearer on Tuesday and Wednesday, with three administration officials telling CNN that Trump changed his mind on imposing additional sanctions on Russian Federation.

Haley was very specific.

Her comments seemed fully consistent with the goal of the missile attacks on Syrian facilities involved in chemical warfare that Trump proudly touted as a signal of his toughness and resolve.

Fox Business anchor Liz Claman argued that Haley must have received an indication from the White House that it was OK to announce the sanctions, and that she was left "twisting in the wind" after the administration walked back her statement on Monday and Tuesday. In fact, she's one of the shrewdest operators on the scene. The citizens who took up arms for her were lashing out against Wolff, but they were also lashing out against the idea that a woman's reputation would suffer for the past sins of a powerful man. Haley has harnessed this energy before: A New York Magazine profile of her suggests that she disguises her manly ambition in the "genteel fashion" of the South, and offers as an example a tweet that she sent to Trump when he criticized her during the Republican presidential primary: "Bless your heart".

"It's clear that in situations like this she is prepared to defend herself - and publicly, if necessary", said John Negroponte, a former USA ambassador to the United Nations under President George W. Bush. The dispute between Haley's team and the White House had been playing out largely behind the scenes since Haley's comments Sunday. A lot of them did their hatchet work anonymously. She said Mnuchin would be announcing them Monday, "if he hasn't already". That's in part because of her penchant for speaking her mind, even when her views cause heartburn in the White House. "There might have been some momentary confusion about that". To which Haley declared, "I don't get confused". The original policy, he said, was changed without Haley's knowledge. "Some of them just get to talk". Hours later, Kudlow apologized, telling ABC News, "There was a process mistake and I shouldn't have said what I said, but I was wrong".

Two unforced errors were made by the Trump circle on April 16.

Andre Bauer, a former lieutenant governor of SC who lost the 2010 race for governor to Haley, took to CNN on Wednesday to blast Haley for her misstep and call attention to her past opposition to Trump. She's done a great job.

After nine African-Americans were murdered by an avowed white supremacist in their Charleston, S.C. church in 2015, Haley, then the state's governor, resisted calls to remove the Confederate flag from the state house grounds.
