Justa bunch of amateurs running the WH. Sure makes a good representative of the Trump administration look foolish to the worlld. She shoulld tell Trump to stick it and resign.
"President Donald Trump gave approval last week for rolling out airstrikes in Syria as well as new sanctions on Russia, according to three senior administration officials — but U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley wasn’t briefed on changes to the sanctions plan before announcing it Sunday on national television.
The episode marks the latest instance of members of Trump’s team appearing out of sync with one another or with the president on foreign affairs.
“Russia sanctions were a part of the agreed-upon plan going into the strike and going into the weekend,” said a senior administration official. “As recently as Saturday, that was reconfirmed as part of the plan.”
The Republican National Committee distributed talking points on Saturday morning in the wake of Friday’s airstrikes that specifically mentioned new sanctions, though not a specific timeline, according to a copy obtained by POLITICO: “We also intend to impose specific additional sanctions against Russia to respond to Moscow’s ongoing support for the Assad regime, which has enabled the regime’s atrocities against the Syrian people.”
The president halted the sanctions plan on Sunday night, according to a Washington Post report."
