When America shows up, when we are consistent and persistent, when we exert our influence in accordance to our values, the United Nations can be an indispensable institution for advancing peace, security, and our collective well-being.

We also have to pay our dues if our influence is going to continue.

President Biden has stated a commitment to restoring U.S. credibility and leadership at the U.N.

If confirmed, as a member of the Biden Cabinet, I would report to the President but would work in lockstep with the Secretary of State.

I will be fighting to ensure that either Americans or like-minded allies are--hold those significant positions.

We are not in a new cold war.

I find the actions and the approach that BDS has taken toward Israel unacceptable. It verges on anti-Semitism.

I will use my perch, if I am confirmed as the U.N. ambassador, to push them on this effort.

I will publicly and privately call on member states to oppose the perpetuation of these bodies.

If confirmed, I will ensure that the United States reasserts its leadership in the U.N. system.

I believe Palestinian efforts to join international entities are premature and counterproductive.

Their success depends on our continued withdrawal. That will not happen on my watch.
