MSNBC: NYT Reports the State Dept. Wants to Approve Nikki Haley’s Public Remarks

‘Haley has been one of the most outspoken members of the Trump Administration weighing in on key foreign policy issues’

GEIST: “An off-the-cuff joke from the President may have had an ounce of truth to it. In an apparent attempt to get American foreign policy on the same page, the State Department reportedly wants to approve U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley’s remarks before she speaks publicly. This is according to 'The New York Times.' In an e-mail, State Department officials urged the ambassador’s aides to rely on building blocks written by the department when preparing her remarks and get clearance if they involve high profile issues like Syria, Iran, North Korea or the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and even re-clear remarks if they change substantially. Haley has been one of the most outspoken members of the Trump Administration weighing in on key foreign policy issues.”
