style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-type=\"text\">\n<div class=\" card-content \">\n<p>Haley oversaw the U.S. withdrawal from the United Nations Human Rights Counsel, which Haley considered the organization\u2019s \u201cgreatest failure,\u201d and touted reductions in spending.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"card collection-item\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"
