The US has an advantage at the UN because Mike Waltz is a polished pro

Tactical advantage at UN

Mike Waltz is America’s latest UN ambassador. He’s a Virginia Military Institute grad, Army colonel, combat-decorated officer, President Trump’s former national security adviser, former congressman, Green Beret, Armed Services Committee chairman, etc.

His background beats George Washington’s. He has two children. His wife’s combat vet Julia Nesheiwat, Ph.D., who served as Homeland Security adviser in Trump’s first administration.

So Francine Lefrak and Rick Friedberg just gave him a cocktail party — high-class guests — at their equally high-class home.

He got asked, “Why do we want the UN at all, and why do we want the UN in New York?”

Standing alone in the crowded living room and facing maybe 50 people he calmly said: “We need a place for the world to talk, and is there any better place to talk than New York?”
