The former UN Ambassador attacked President Trump for inaction earlier in his presidency. A short time later, Trump did what Obama never could.
Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power offered a tepid defense of the Obama administration’s inaction in Syria in a recent interview with Politico’s Susan Glasser, even though she attacked President Trump for a similar stance last year.
