WASHINGTON (AP) — Rep. Elise Stefanik opened her confirmation hearing Tuesday for U.S. ambassador to the United Nations by pledging to implement President Donald Trump’s “America First” mandate and roll out a review of U.S. funding for some of the world body’s agencies.

President Trump sees “great promise" in the United Nations, according to his U.N. ambassador nominee Elise Stefanik, who is expected to promise to bring “reform" to the organization.

Stefanik's confirmation hearing to become the next UN Ambassador focused on foreign aid, Chinese influence, and antisemitism.

Harvard-educated and the fourth-ranking member of the US House, she was elected to Congress in 2015 as a moderate Republican and is leaving a decade later as one of President Trump’s most ardent allies.

Rep. Elise Stefanik is expected to champion President-elect Donald Trump's "America first" agenda on the global stage.
