Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, hit back at the White House on Tuesday after a senior West Wing official said she was confused when she announced over the weekend that President Donald Trump would soon impose new sanctions on Russia.
“With all due respect, I don't get confused,” Haley said in a statement.
Haley’s terse quip came just hours after Larry Kudlow, director of the National Economic Council, told reporters that the ambassador suffered from “momentary confusion” when she said on CBS’ “Face the Nation” on Sunday that Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin would announce the sanctions early this week.
“She got ahead of the curve,” Kudlow said during a news conference in Florida. “She’s done a great job. She’s a very effective ambassador. There might have been some momentary confusion about that.”
