United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley slammed reports that said she is feuding with Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, calling it “dramatic” and “ridiculous.”

“That’s so dramatic. That’s so ridiculous. No. I think what you have is sometimes Secretary Tillerson and I have different opinions, but when we come into the NSC [National Security Council], everybody has different opinions,” Haley told ABC’s “This Week.”

{mosads}Host George Stephanopoulos specifically asked Haley about a report in Politico that said a Trump administration official characterized her feud with Tillerson as approaching “World War III.”

But Haley slammed the report, saying she works with other members of the National Security Council to provide Trump with information and support his decisions.

“I have my relationship with Secretary Tillerson or General Mattis, or anyone else, it’s all a great relationship because we are all looking out for the best interest of America,” Haley added.

Haley also responded to the report on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” calling it “palace intrigue.”

“I am glad to be living in New York just for that reason,” she said.

“I don’t want to be near the drama and I don’t want to be near the gossip. I’m going to continue to do a good job, and so is every member of the NSC,” she continued.
