US ambassador says 'no love' in dealings with Russia
US ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley says there's no question Russia was involved in the US presidential election and insists President Donald Trump would fully support strong action against the Kremlin once investigations are complete.
Speaking in television interviews broadcast Sunday, Haley contended there is no contradiction between her tough stance and Trump's repeated public statements seeking to minimize Russia's role. She said Trump "has not once" told her to stop "beating up on Russia."
She joins Defense Secretary James Mattis as Trump administration officials who have forcefully called out Russia for its actions during the 2016 US campaign.
"We don't want any country involved in our elections, ever," Haley said. "We need to be very strong on that."
