President-elect Donald Trump announced Elise Stefanik as his nominee for United States permanent representative to the United Nations. According to The Statesman, Trump selected the fierce critic of the world organization on Monday, highlighting her strong stance against what he views as the United Nations biases.

This nomination comes amid heightened global tensions, particularly over recent United States military actions in Venezuela. Politifact reports that on January third, President Trump held a press conference at Mar-a-Lago following the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, on charges related to cocaine trafficking. Trump stated the United States would run Venezuela until a safe transition, with Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez sworn in as interim president after talks with Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Dawn reports the United Nations Security Council plans to meet on Monday to address alarm over the United States action in Venezuela. United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres warned the crisis could undermine international law by setting a dangerous precedent.

Stefanik, a United States Representative from New York, has not yet commented publicly on the Venezuela situation in her prospective role. Her nomination requires Senate confirmation, where her vocal criticism of United Nations handling of Israel and antisemitism issues may play a key part. Forward notes past recognition of Stefanik for her anti-Defamation League efforts against campus antisemitism.

Listeners, as Stefanik prepares to represent United States interests at the United Nations, her approach could shape responses to crises like Venezuela. Thank you for tuning in, and please subscribe for more updates. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.
