President Trump this week was expected to name an appointee to represent the US at the United Nations. That comes in the wake of Nikki Haley’s resignation of her post as US Ambassador to the UN, who is stepping down at the end of 2018. Tensions are high in many countries around the world ,and renewed nationalist sentiments in many nations could make 2019 a pivotal year for the UN.

Sheba Crocker is the former Assistant Secretary of State for International Organization Affairs, and she was recently in Milwaukee to talk about the future of the UN. Crocker is currently the vice president for Humanitarian Programs & Policy at the relief organization CARE USA. She spoke with Bonnie North before her lecture at Marquette University about the continuing importance of the UN.
