To the editor:

After reading articles on President Trump withdrawing the United States from the Iran nuclear deal and the separation of immigrant children from their parents at the border, I wonder how Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley is holding up.

Is she embarrassed when Trump breaks international agreements? Does she worry that other nations will no longer trust us to keep our word? Is she concerned about the honor of the United States and its position as a world leader? Does she wonder if adversaries like North Korea and China will have second thoughts about negotiating with us? Is she confident that allies like Great Britain and France will continue to rely on our leadership?

And how in God's name does she feel about the new U.S. policy of arresting immigrants seeking sanctuary and separating them from their children? Can she really stomach this violation of international law and justify it to her fellow U.N. representatives? Is she ashamed as a mother, a person of goodwill, and our ambassador to the world?

Haley has my sympathy because she has the hardest job in the world.
