A woman who describes herself as ultra MAGA has been confirmed as the new US ambassador to the United Nations.
40-year-old Elise Stefanik was the youngest woman to be elected to congress in 2014. She aligns herself closely with Trump and claims the 2020 election was rigged.
She says she will make sure that every US taxpayer dollar that flows into the UN serves American interests.
She admitted she knew little of the international organisation – but she says she’s ready for the challenge.
