Believe it, right? there were more tea leaves when the president appeared to set a high bar, saying haylee made the job more glamorous. we have a number of people that would very much like to do it. it s a great position. and nikki realizes it. she s i think she s helped make it a much better position, if you want to know the truth. i think it s become maybe a more glamorous position than it was two years ago. reporter: the glowing praise is a far cry from the jabs they were exchanging during the campaign when mr. trump tweeted, the people of south carolina are embarrassed by nikki haley, and she responded, bless your heart. do you believe nikki haley when she says she doesn t want to run for president in 2020? you guys used to clash with one another. i didn t know her. she supported somebody in the primary. it turned out very well for me. she respected him. and after that, we got along, as you would say, very well. reporter: there are also questions about the timing of h ....
Returning from government to the private sector is not a step down, but a step up. but just yesterday, the government watchdog crew raised questions about flights on private planes haylee took last year, writing, in this case, ambassador haylee s relationships with these individuals appear to have significant political and professional components. president trump says he ll select his new u.n. ambassador in the next few weeks. besides ivanka trump, dina powell, and ambassador to germany, richard grinnel, being discussed as possible replacements. when you hear the president talking about how his daughter could be dynamite, it s hard to imagine how anybody could get in the way of ivanka trump at this point, wolf. let s see what happens. jim acosta, thank you. let s get some more on nikki haley s surprise resignation. michelle kosinski is over at the state department for us. michelle, what are you learning about who may replace nikki haley? you heard the president say he s considering ....
At the g20 in germany. she just sat down and took a seat for a little while. but it was at the table with world leaders. that drew criticism and questions, and also sarcasm. but she has been heavily involved in foreign policy, wanting to get involved. remember toward the beginning of the administration, she went on a trip by herself as the headliner for the administration to india. and the theme was women s empowerment. but then secretary of state rex tillerson didn t like that at all. rubbed him the wrong way. he didn t send any of his top people at the state department to support her, and a short time after that, he was fired by tweet. she laughed off the suggestion today. so we will see what happens. but we know the president would likely like somebody who is going to be just as big and forceful a supporter of his foreign policy as nikki haley has been. but not too much. i mean, we ve seen that work for haylee sometimes and not work so well other times. this person also needs to get ....
The list of multiple sources today. dina powell. the president s former deputy national security adviser, she was heavily involved in middle east policy. in fact, one senior diplomatic source tells us tonight they feel she has a very, very good shot at this job. but that s if she s willing to take it. and that s a big question. wasn t so long ago, she left the administration ready to go back into the private sector in finance at goldman sachs. she seems very happy there, according to sources. so that s a big question. would she be willing to rejoin the administration? and in this very demanding role that she left partially to spend more time with her family. but that other name, of course, is what we were just talking about, the president s own daughter, ivanka trump. you hear her use the words incredible and dynamite to describe her as a potential candidate. but in the same breath, he also foreshadowed this could be a tough pick politically. it was just last year, remember, she ra ....
reporter: but read between the lines, and there could be a sign of things to come, as haylee praised members of the trump family. ivanka and jared kushner. i can t say enough good things about jared and ivanka. jared is such a hidden genius that no one understands. and ivanka has been just a great friend. and they do a lot of things behind the scenes that i wish more people knew about. because we re a better country because they re in this administration. reporter: cnn has learned ivanka s name has surfaced in discussions about haylee s replacement, but when told about the internal speculation, a source said ivanka laughed. that didn t stop the president from engaging in that speculation later in the day. i ve heard ivanka. i ve heard how good would ivanka be. the people that know, it s nothing to do with nepotism. but i want to tell you, the people that know, know that ivanka would be dynamite. but, you know, i would then be accused of nepotism, if you can ....
