she's been the u.n. ambassador. she clashed with rex tillerson, but seems to have gotten along with current secretary of state mike pompeo. haley has been a foreign policy presence, but nbc news has learned she told her staff she plans to resign. foreign correspondent andrea mitchell joins us live. this was not expected. i think this was a surprise to a lot of folks here in washington. >> not before the midterms, so there's a question as to whether there are political ambitions in play here. she, of course, strongly denied she was the anonymous writer in the critical op-ed in "the new york times." she said when she has problems she speaks to him directly and privately. we know there have been some issues certainly on immigration. she has a background coming from a background of parents who were from india and also not happy about some of the other policies at the united nations, but certainly we have not seen this coming this soon, hallie. >> and, andrea, we don't know why she's stepping away from this position, cor

ambassador to the u.n. has taken a bold role on u.n. issues.tary mattis of defense, a figure who gets a lot of respect around the world. so they will have to choose wisely whoever they choose to put in there. but it is a loss. i will say a poll taken in the spring had republicans liking nikki haley 75-9 and democrats liking her 55-23. so she was a popular figure even inside this administration that has, you know, at times split the country pretty dramatically. >> she was on everything, every republican short list for v.p. for the 2020 election. >> sandra: peter doocy is on capitol hill. have you caught up with everybody? >> everybody that would know is in the oval office now. just scrolling through something else that people are talking about in the west wing right now would be ambassador haley's interview she did on "fox & friends" during the united nation's general assembly in new york where she said all the stories about the president's leadership that were coming out from anonymous sources were bogus. she said that there were no -- there wa

ambassador to the u.n. there were eyebrow raising moments, like when trump said this in april of 2017. >> she's doing a good job. now, does everybody like nikki? otherwise she can easily be replaced. no, i am kidding, we want her. i promise. she's doing a fantastic job. >> then there's this. when the president made his controversial comments after the deadly violence in charlottesville, virginia. haley avoided confirming or denying whether the president acknowledged he made a mistake, even though she had these comments about the incident. >> i picked up the phone and i had a private conversation with the president about charlottesville and it was taken very well. what i will tell you is there is no room for bigotry and hate in this country. >> still, ambassador haley was there to defend the president when he used the term little rocket man during the u.n. speech as a nickname for north korean leader kim jong-un, saying his comments, quote, worked. she helped lead the administration's tougher positions at th

there we have pictures of donald trump at the u.n. general assembly a couple of weeks ago flanked by nikki haley there on his left camera right with antonio terra's the u.n. secretary general mr trump of course was chairing the u.n. general assembly meeting over the space of four or five days and he gave that keynote speech at the beginning of his chairing of that diplomatic process. a difficult tenure perhaps a controversial tenure maybe one should say for nikki haley she had a bumpy relationship with her russian opposite number james bays is our diplomatic editor joining us on the line now james what else do we know. we don't know a lot of but i think there are some very interesting questions about the timing of this weekend haley in many ways has been one of the stones of the trumpet ministrations she's been one of the most competent and efficient members of the trump cabinet she is of course a politician the south. of south carolina and we don't been watching those that watch the u.n. closely tonight political ambition most notabl

usually u.n. ambassadors, u.s. u.n. ambassadors last four years.er the past many years and the second after the re-election of the president they would seek higher job such as secretary of state or national security advisor. this has been the case or the tradition. for the ambassador to now, to stay in the realm of politics that would mean there is either a domestic position she is thinking of, or a role she was thinking of or international one has to do with the international institutions. so we are not sure. everything is possible. we will know very, very soon. charles: what institution would be on par with this, walid? >> i don't want to make speculations as all. the u.n. has many institutions of the nato has institutions and positions. the sky is completely open here, the sky is the limit. it a little unusual that the u.s. ambassador to the united nations resign, stay in good relations with president, apparently is the case, hopefully is the case, could also be personal reasons. charles: you're right. >> really big questions. charles: we'll fin

ambassador to the u.n. and she said i don't even know what the u.n. does people laughed at this in the audience because they saw her as making light of the u.n. and mocking it the christian right in the u.s. and republicans in general tend to view the u.n. with complete contempt and one member of this secret group the council for national policy is tim la haye who has written a series of books fantasizing about the end times in the return of the messiah in which the anti christ is the secretary general of the u.n. so there is a lot of hatred for the u.n. in the room and a lot of admiration for nikki haley do you think max we should take the comments that you had to see recently it sounds like he could have been playing to the crime . you know maybe she was playing to the crowd but i think you know in a setting like that where she thinks that there is no media present doesn't know that there is a journalist there i think her comments should be taken very seriously and received as her most canned some of her most candid remarks today. and in addition th

ambassador to the u.n.s god for public exposure and getting dip make the and foreign policy experience. but when you look at the major issues of foreign policy, she was involved. kennedy: she had to shepherd a lot of the president's agenda. we don't talk about foreign policy as much. but there have been some pretty massive developments when you look at china, russia, north korea, moving our embassy to jerusalem. >> how much of any of that can you attribute to nikki haley? the president engages. the president engages in foreign policy. the secretary of state engages in foreign policy. kennedy: he watches the show and he's watching you right now. >> there has been a shift on all those issues you said. nikki haley has been effective in towing the administration line. there is nothing revolutionary about her approach to these problems and i can't point to any aspect of the major foreign policies challenges that have shifted because of nikki haley. kennedy: you may be right about that. but here is the difference

people felt that nikki haley was a moderating figure that helped the u.n. avoid a budget ax or u.n. officials telling me she stopped more of a destruction of the u.n. organization. it will be very important as you heard what kind of ambassador, as you heard donald trump say was a celebrity-type of figure here, you could be a behind-the-door diplomacy person. it's notable she didn't tell pompeo or bolton that she was leaving. >> we saw pictures, just jumping into the guessing game, the name dina powell has been floated. there's a picture of her fishing over the weekend with nikki haley. and nikki haley was gushing this morning about ivanka trump and jared kushner. here she was. >> i can't say enough good things about jared and ivanka. jared is such a hidden genius that no one understands. i mean, to redo the nafta deal the way he did, what i've done working him on the middle east peace plan, it is so unbelievably well done. ivanka's been such a great friend. they do a lot of things behind the scenes. >> so, kaitlan, you have folks on one side of the aisle who think it would be crazy

security council the u.n. general assembly or the u.n. human rights council i can tell you that currently none of the countries concerned have asked the u.n. to get involved saudi arabia i'm sure would not want an international investigation led by the united nations i think for now turkey wants to keep control of this and the united states i think is a little wary of the u.n. getting involved and for those same reasons i think no one's actually raised this it only at any of the main u.n. bodies certainly the u.n. secretary general is not minded to store launch any sort of investigation unless he's backed by someone actually inviting him to do so so i think it remains a possibility but it's certainly not something that's happening right now ok and what about what it comes down to the saudis and the turks put this into context for us what do they both want to see right now. the saudis want to move on i think they are very unhappy about the media narrative of this because it is so damaging to them that this has been the lead story for the b

for any u.n. ambassador, that's a peak of their career, to have that presidency on top of it during that month. if she had been thinking of leaving, it could have been because she didn't get the secretary of state position it, could be because she has political ambitions beyond 2020 and wanted to leave at a high point. whatever it might be, the timing make sense. she's had all these accomplishments over the last two years. the grind at the u.n. is really relentless. i was there, of all the positions i had in government, including compared to the white house, my position at the u.s. mission at the u.n. was by far the most trying and just 24/7. i do think that the timing for her resignation, almost on two years, going through the u.n. general assembly and u.s. presidency makes sense for that. but the exact reason is hard to say. >> david, what do you think? >> well, i think this is a big loss. there were times during this administration where it felt like nikki haley was the conscience of the admini
