United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley on Sunday pushed back on criticism from other world leaders who have condemned President Trump‘s decision to begin the process of moving the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, saying the U.S. has the authority to choose the locations of its diplomatic offices.
“We have the right to do whatever we want in terms of where we put our embassies,” she told host Chris Wallace on “Fox News Sunday.”
“We don’t need other countries telling us what’s right and wrong,” she added, after being asked about backlash from the U.N. General Assembly.
The U.N. Security Council joined a chorus of voices in the international community that condemned the decision, saying the move was “unhelpful in terms of prospects for peace in the region.”
