Powell Leaning Against U.N. Ambassador Job

October 11, 2018 · 4:30 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Goldman Sachs partner Dina Powell “has told some colleagues that she’s leaning against leaving the firm to rejoin the Trump administration as ambassador to the United Nations,” Bloomberg reports.

“President Trump has called Powell about the job twice, first on Sunday — before current United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley announced her resignation — and again on Wednesday… He made it clear that he’s interested in the idea of appointing Powell to the position… though he has also talked to other candidates.”

Dina Powell is the top candidate to replace outgoing United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, Politico reports.

“Powell, who returned to Goldman in a senior role after leaving her job as President Donald Trump’s deputy national security adviser, is said to be strongly considering the job but also weighing family concerns. Powell already lives in New York, where the UN is based, but has young children and left the administration in part to spend more time with family. She is also said to be happy in her job at Goldman.”
