United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley on Wednesday said the United States should never trust Russia.

“Take it seriously. We cannot trust Russia. We should never trust Russia,” Haley told NBC News.

Haley’s comments contrast that of President Trump, who has suggested he is open to warmer relations with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

{mosads}The Justice Department on Wednesday charged two Russian security service officers in the 2014 hacking of the Yahoo network. Haley’s comments about the Kremlin followed the Justice Department’s announcement.

In her first appearance in front of the U.N. last month, Haley condemned Russia for its annexation of Crimea.

“I consider it unfortunate that the occasion of my first appearance here is one in which I must condemn the aggressive actions of Russia,” Haley said at the time.

“We do want to better our relations with Russia, however, the dire situation in eastern Ukraine is one that demands clear and strong condemnation of Russian actions.”
