UNITED NATIONS: The UN Security Council is heading to Washington on Monday for lunch with President Donald Trump and to see missile remnants the US says are proof that Iran is arming rebels in Yemen.
The US Mission announced Friday that Ambassador Nikki Haley has organized the trip, which will also include a visit to the Holocaust Museum with national security adviser H.R. McMaster.
In November, Haley took journalists to an emptied-out hangar at a military base near Washington to see fragments recovered from missiles launched from Yemen.
Haley said the US intelligence community concluded “unequivocally” the missiles were supplied by Iran.
The Trump administration is seeking to rally the world at the UN and elsewhere to punish Iran for funneling weapons to Houthi Shiite rebels in Yemen, which Tehran steadfastly denies.
