UNITED NATIONS (AN) — Incoming U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Kelly Craft took up her job, praising both the U.N. secretary-general and U.S. president while declining to take questions from reporters.
Craft, who previously served as U.S. ambassador to Canada, spoke briefly to reporters on Thursday 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.
