Nikki Haley, the former South Carolina governor and recently confirmed U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said Friday that she plans to overhaul the world organization and issued a warning to anyone who stands in the way of American ambitions. Haley gave brief remarks when she arrived at the world body's headquarters in New York to provide her credentials to U.N. chief Antonio Guterres. "For those that don't have our back, we're taking names, we will make points to respond to that accordingly," she said. "Our goal with the administration is to show value at the U.N. and the way that we'll show value is to show our strength, show our voice, have the backs of our allies and make sure that our allies have our back as well."
