Rep. Elise Stefanik testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Jan. 16, 2025 , as part of her confirmation process to become the next U.S. ambassador to the U.N. Stefanik : Diplomacy is an art, not a science, and a good ambassador can make a real difference.

Abiodun Williams : The U.S. ambassador to the U.N. is a public figure who is expected to frequently travel outside of the country to make the case for why the United States ’ participation and leadership at the United Nations matters.

In a democracy, a successful foreign policy approach must have public support, Williams says.
