America's UN Ambassador, Nikki Haley, today fired back against a Trump Administration official who said she was suffering from "momentary confusion" when she announced new sanctions against Russia were imminent.
Haley said: "With all due respect, I don't get confused."
A striking intra-administration quarrel played out in public when National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow told reporters during a briefing in Florida that Haley "got ahead of the curve" when she said the US would be slapping new sanctions on Russia on Tuesday.
The sanctions would be in retaliation for the country's support for Syria's Assad Government after its latest suspected chemical attack.
Kudlow said additional sanctions are under consideration but have yet to be implemented. Of Haley, he said, "There might have been some momentary confusion about that."
