We have reports from Axios that U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley has submitted her resignation to President Trump. Jonathan Swan wrote that Haley discussed her resignation with President Trump last week. The news of her departure comes as a surprise to the foreign policy brain trust within the Trump administration. Swan added that the time in which she would officially leave is not known:
Big announcement with my friend Ambassador Nikki Haley in the Oval Office at 10:30am.

Haley wrote a public op-ed in September challenging the N.Y. Times’ anonymous op-ed:
“I donāt agree with the president on everything. When there is disagreement, there is a right way and a wrong way to address it. I pick up the phone and call him or meet with him in person.”
“Like my colleagues in the Cabinet and on the National Security Council, I have very open access to the president. He does not shut out his advisers, and he does not demand that everyone agree with him. I can talk to him most any time, and I frequently do.”
“If I disagree with something and believe it is important enough to raise with the president, I do it. And he listens.”
Haley will meet with President Trump in the Oval Office at 10:30 A.M. EST. It will be open to the press. Haley has been a bulldog for the administration’s foreign policy in New York.
President Trump and Ambassador Nikki Haley will meet in the Oval Office at 10:30am this morning. This event will be open to the pool.
