Defending Donald Trump for firing former FBI director James Comey, America's envoy to the UN Nikki Haley called the US President "CEO of the country”, who, she said “can fire anyone he wants".
Haley said she believed that the criticism of Trump borne out of discomfort with his propensity to act on his decisions.
In a candid interview to ABC News, she said, Indian-origin Haley said, "He (Trump) can hire and fire anyone he wants."

Replying to a question if she found herself having to explain to foreign diplomats Trump's domestic policy decisions, she said, “I think what you can see is that this is a president of action. The reason people are uncomfortable is because he acts."
On being asked if the president sought a pledge of loyalty from her, Haley replied in the negative.
At the same time, she said that during her tenure as South Carolina's governor demonstrations of "loyalty and trust" were important to her.
Regarding the president's tweet this week warning the fired FBI director that he better hope there are no "tapes" of their private conversations, Haley seemed unconcerned by the possibility that the president was taping conversations.
"I assume I'm being taped everywhere," she said.
