President Donald Trump’s former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley publicly contradicted the president on Thursday by issuing a statement on American student Otto Warmbier, who died after being held in a North Korean prison.
President Trump has criticized North Korea’s role in Warmbier’s death in the past. But since he began building his reputation as a diplomat and dealmaker on his budding relationship with North Korea’s Kim, his rhetoric has changed dramatically. “He tells me he didn't know about it, and I take him at his word,” Trump said of Kim during the press conference. “I don't believe he would have allowed that to happen…. It just wasn't to his advantage to allow that to happen.”
Haley resigned suddenly from her job as United Nations ambassador in October last year, leaving many to speculate over the cause of her departure. In her resignation letter, Haley said she was proud of the Trump administration’s record at the U.N.
Does anyone believe Trump doesn't know Warmbier was murdered really
Fuhrer Trump has a history of being very comfortable with defending notorious dictators rather than his own government, he presumes to lead. Perhaps because his inherent nature is... He is a Dictator Himself!
You mean Nikki tells the truth
Thanks, Mrs. Obvious.
That’s Fake News, he said Kim Jung un said he knew nothing about it .
北朝鮮の残虐且つ冷酷さは、今に始まった事では無い。過去の所業を見れば、明らかだな。
Careful NikkiHaley ... he bites.
AND moral of story...Don't STEAL in a foreign country!!
WHY is this 'allowed' to be news and WHY is it 'allowed' for all these investigations. Base does NOT care what Trump finances are years ago, women, etc. This is ridiculous! STOP wasting our tax dollars!!!!!!
Now she has a lucrative deal with Boeing. Too bad she didn’t take the honorable path 2 years ago, instead of working for a criminal enterprise.
If Individual1 leaves office, I see Nikki making a run for the presidency.
I lost all respect for her when she went to work for Trump.
No Kim Jung Un can’t be mean Trump likes him and Trump only likes the best people
Good for Nikki.
So we are to where we have to write an article pointing out that someone spoke a totally obvious truth. Hooray
Quash any hope of a denuclearized DPRK at all cost. neocons
Contradict Drumpster ?
I wonder if she regrets agreeing to work for Trump.
This of course is Trump taking a hit from our simple public to send a message to a hermit monster who could vaporize millions of the living. Thank God for Trump
She’s the female equivalent of a smug p. I hope she never runs for president. She comes across as arrogant IMO. And she didn’t condemn Trump’s insensitive and treasonous statement.
Just barely. Another tepid response to Trump from the so-called 'grown-ups' who enable this manchild to drag this country through the gutter yet again.
Who’s on first?
Oh such a brave woman..pfffttt please!
Go Haley!!!
She’s so sharp
Agree completely with Nikki Haley. But I think she is positioning herself to run for something

'I don't believe he knew about it.' Trump says Kim Jong Un not responsible for Otto Warmbier's deathTrump said he pressed Kim Jong Un about Otto Warmbier's death but does not believe the North Korean dictator is responsible. The only people Trump believes (and 'falls in love with') are dictators, authoritarians and anyone who strokes his ego. I think Trump is probably right about this. I suspect someone lower down the ladder caused the harm to Warmbier without Kim knowing it. They've probably done it a lot with their own prisoners, but never to an American, who couldn't be hidden. How stupid is this person?

Trump believes Kim's claim he wasn't aware of Warmbier's conditionPresident Donald Trump on Thursday said he does not hold North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un responsible for Otto Warmbier's death after Kim denied knowledge of the American student's maltreatment. RickSantorum Is the president on the side? Or are you going to get away with these accusations? Scenes from a next chapter! Anyone who lives will see. Until proven guilty... RickSantorum What a joke! Everyone knows that nothing happens in such countries without which the leadership knows. How dumb can someone be?! RickSantorum

Nikki you should be ashamed you supported apartheid Israel despite Israeli atrocities to Palestinians. You have no right to talk about N.Korean cruelty! You have multiple standards.

Republicans push back on Trump’s trust of Kim on the death of Otto WarmbierSeveral GOP lawmakers cautioned against trusting the North Korean leader but took care not to criticize Trump directly. That's amazing. And by 'pushing back' you mean voting for all of his disastrous policies. Trump would be a horrible prosecutor. 'The Defendant says he's not guilty, so we withdraw all charges.'

In Otto Warmbier death, Trump once again sides with dictator over U.S. intelligencePresident Trump said Kim Jong Un was not responsible for the horrific injuries sustained by American student Otto Warmbier, who died shortly after being released from 17 months of detention in North Korea. Former UN ambassador Bill Richardson joins Hallie Jackson to discuss how it's impossible that Kim Jong Un did not know. 'And by the way he strongly denied it'. Yeah, we've heard that one already. I wonder what Otto Warmbier's parents or family thought about Trump's statement. It didn't shock me - it saddened me. We have to do better. 😥 Cohen called trump a racist. Why didn’t he take Cohen at his word?
