The Trump administration said Nikki Haley was "confused" over her proclamation that Syria would be hit with more airstrikes if chemical weapons are used again....Haley stated in reply..
"I DONT GET CONFUSED"
Another hilarious fuck-up for the ball-lickers to make an excuse for
You're such an idiot........
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley responded Tuesday to a claim from President Trump's top economic adviser that she “got confused” when she said the U.S. would impose additional sanctions on Russia.
“With all due respect, I don’t get confused,” Haley told Fox News’s Dana Perino in a statement that was read on-air and quickly spread on Twitter.
Top White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow on Tuesday morning said that Haley “got ahead of the curve” in announcing the sanctions.
“There might have been some momentary confusion about that,” Kudlow told reporters in West Palm Beach, Fla., ahead of President Trump’s meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
Haley said Sunday that the U.S. planned to impose sanctions on Moscow as early as Monday. But the White House walked back her announcement the next day, saying no decision had been made.
Kudlow downplayed suggestions that the mix-up resulted in a rift between Haley and Trump, who has at times been hesitant to forcefully criticize Russia.
Kudlow said that the Treasury Department has prepared a package of additional sanctions against Russia, but that nothing has been finalized.
He also reportedly later called Haley to apologize over the "confused" comments.The Washington Post reported Monday that Trump was not comfortable signing off on additional sanctions on Russia, and that the White House is in a "holding pattern."
Trump authorized a series of missile strikes on Friday targeting Syrian chemical facilities, and called on Russia and Iran to end their support for Syrian President Bashar Assad.
Two days later, Haley appeared on "Face the Nation" on CBS and said Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin will be announcing additional sanctions on Moscow as early as Monday. The sanctions would target “any sort of companies that were dealing with equipment related to Assad and chemical weapons use," she said.
White House press secretary
Sarah Huckabee Sanders issued a statement on Monday saying the White House is "considering additional sanctions on Russia and a decision will be made in the near future.”TAGS STEVEN MNUCHIN DONALD TRUMP NIKKI HALEY LARRY KUDLOW RUSSIA RUSSIAN SANCTIONS
