Diplomacy Professor Martin Edwards on Fox News - Seton Hall University
Thursday, December 15, 2016
"I think there's a lot of day-to-day issues that she doesn't know about -- the problem Nikki Haley is going to face is that many of the other countries' delegates are people who have been there for a very long time. Her counterpart from Russia has been there for 10 years. So I think hitting the ground running will be important," said Martin Edwards, a professor at the School of Diplomacy and International Relations at Seton Hall University.
Edwards is optimistic that Trump and the new secretary-general -- former Socialist
Prime Minister of Portugal Antonio Guterres -- will be able to work together.
"He expressed a desire to reform the U.N. and he expressed a desire to build trust
between the U.N. and member states so I think there's a lot to look forward to actually
in this honeymoon period," Edwards said.
The interview initially ran on the national news show "Happening Now" and was then featured on other Fox News shows over the course of the next few days.
