UPDATE: Haley wants to “take a break.” She will leave the administration at the end of the year. Trump knew this was going to happen. It was in the works for nearly six months. Sorry, Never Trumpers, she will not be running in 2020. She will be campaigning with the president to Keep America Great.

Here's the presser:

We have reports from Axios that U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley has submitted her resignation to President Trump. Jonathan Swan wrote that Haley discussed her resignation with President Trump last week. The news of her departure comes as a surprise to the foreign policy brain trust within the Trump administration. Swan added that the time in which she would officially leave is not known:

Haley wrote a public op-ed in September challenging the N.Y. Times' anonymous op-ed:

"I don’t agree with the president on everything. When there is disagreement, there is a right way and a wrong way to address it. I pick up the phone and call him or meet with him in person."

"Like my colleagues in the Cabinet and on the National Security Council, I have very open access to the president. He does not shut out his advisers, and he does not demand that everyone agree with him. I can talk to him most any time, and I frequently do."

"If I disagree with something and believe it is important enough to raise with the president, I do it. And he listens."

Haley will meet with President Trump in the Oval Office at 10:30 A.M. EST. It will be open to the press. Haley has been a bulldog for the administration's foreign policy in New York.
