US envoy to the UN Nikki Haley to visit Syrian refugees in Jordan

US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley has said she will visit Turkey and Jordan from tomorrow to see how Syrian refugees are coping, and UN humanitarian works and highlight the US aid response. It will be her first overseas visit. 

It follows a bid by US President Donald's Trump to



temporarily ban refugees from entering the United States and to cut funding to the United Nations and its agencies. Ms Haley said she would talk to government leaders about how US programs to help refugees are working. Her trip coincides with Mr Trump's maiden trip to Saudi Arabia, Israel, Italy and Belgium.
