Haley fired back:

“With all due respect… I don’t get confused”

Haley told CBS News’ “Face the Nation” Sunday that a new set of sanctions were set to be announced in reaction to Russia’s support of the Syrian government, blamed for a chemical weapons attack that sparked missile strikes launched Friday by U.S., British and French forces.

As Written By The Sacramento Bee:

Trump administration official Larry Kudlow has apologized to U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley after suggesting she was suffering from “momentary confusion” when she announced new sanctions against Russia were imminent.

A White House official says the National Economic Council director called Haley to apologize Tuesday afternoon. Haley issued a terse statement to Fox News, saying, “With all due respect, I don’t get confused.”

Haley said Sunday that Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin would be announcing new sanctions directed at companies associated with Syria’s chemical weapons program on Monday, “if he hasn’t already.”

The official says Haley was unaware that the administration’s plans to impose fresh sanctions on Russia over its support of the Syrian government had been put on hold.

According to The Hill, the White House Offered an explanation. “As it turns out, she was basically following what she thought was policy,” the president’s top economic adviser said. “The policy was changed and she wasn’t told about it, so she was in a box.”
