Nikki Haley, a recent Republican presidential candidate and former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, has been bestowed with the esteemed Walter P. Stern chair at the Hudson Institute, a conservative think tank specializing in foreign policy. After her unsuccessful performance on Super Tuesday and subsequent withdrawal from the 2024 presidential campaign, Haley has chosen to maintain her position on global issues through this influential platform.
Haley aims to advance her commitment to strengthening the United States’ foreign alliances in her upcoming position, placing particular emphasis on nations including Israel, Ukraine, Taiwan, and Israel—all of which were crucial issues during her campaign. The Hudson Institute is thrilled to have Haley as a member of their team, highlighting her demonstrated leadership prowess and steadfast dedication to safeguarding American values both internationally and internally.
The appointment of Haley is in line with her longstanding political inclination towards security and international relations, and it occurs after the Hudson Institute bestowed upon her the Global Leadership Award in 2018. With her astute advocacy and strategic acumen, she will possess the capacity to sway policy decisions and offer counsel to fellow policymakers in pursuit of a prosperous, secure, and liberated future for the United States.
Haley reflected on her new position and emphasized the critical nature of clear and robust policy direction in ensuring global safety as well as the significance of the United States’ position on the international stage. She enthusiastically anticipates contributing to the organization’s mission of bolstering American leadership on the international stage, of which she is a proud member.
In the nascent phase of her professional trajectory, Haley maintains a significant stance in Republican politics, exerting influence over discussions pertaining to the United States’ stance on international relations in the face of ongoing global political unrest.
