UNITED NATIONS (AN) — Incoming U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Kelly Craft took up her job on Thursday, issuing a terse statement in which she praised both the U.N. secretary-general and her boss while declining to take questions from reporters.
Craft, who previously served as U.S. ambassador to Canada, spoke briefly to reporters at a press stakeout webcast live from U.N. headquarters at New York. She called U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres a wise leader and expressed "extraordinary gratitude for the bold leadership" of U.S. President Donald Trump, who put her in the job.
