While speaking at a summit hosted by Christians United for Israel on Monday, she said: "Anything Joe Biden signs will all but guarantee that Iran gets the bomb. "No deal is better than a bad deal. And if this president signs any sort of deal, I'll make you a promise. The next president will shred it on her first day in office." ...Just saying, sometimes it takes a woman,... she quickly added at the end.

Former President Donald Trump said he picked Haley because of her proven reputation as a ...deal-maker.... She is considered to have been very visible during her tenure \- unusual for a UN ambassador \- and has crossed Trump on a number of his stances.

Her tenure under Trump has seen her make a number of dramatic announcements on war and peace. Haley told the UN the missile strike on Syria in April 2017 was a ...very measured step... and attacks similar to this would continue. She also slammed Russia after it blocked a draft resolution for condemning the Khan Shaykhun chemical attack. In April 2017, while holding her first session as President of the UN Security Council, Haley charged Iran and Hezbollah with having ...conducted terrorist acts... for decades within the Middle East. In October 2017, the federal Office of Special Counsel determined that Haley had violated the federal Hatch Act in June 2017 by retweeting Trump's endorsement of Ralph Norman, a Republican candidate for Congress in South Carolina.
