WASHINGTON—Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) appeared before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Jan. 21 as President Donald Trump’s nominee for U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and criticized the multilateral organization over its stances against Israel.

In her opening statement, Stefanik said that the U.S. agenda at Turtle Bay will reflect Trump’s “America First” agenda, which includes standing with the Jewish state.
