United States Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley is stepped down from her post “at the end of the year,” President Trump announced Tuesday.

Haley, the former governor of South Carolina, discussed her exit with the President last week, Trump, in a joint Oval Office appearance, called Haley a “very special” person, adding that she told him six months ago that she might want to take some time off.

Trump said that together, they had “solved a lot of problems.”

Axios first reported that the President had accepted Haley’s resignation.

The 46-year-old, a rising star in the Republican party before joining the Trump administration, has openly clashed with the President and even contradicted him on more than one occasion.

Haley was appointed to the UN post in November 2016 and coordinated Trump's second trip to the body’s New York headquarters last month, a trip that included his first time chairing the UN Security Council.

Before joining the Trump team, Haley said during the 2016 campaign that she was “not a fan” of the reality TV star.

Trump, in turn, tweeted at the time that “the people of South Carolina are embarrassed by Nikki Haley!”

As ambassador to the UN, Haley has been a staunch supporter of the President’s rough and tumble stances on foreign policy. On her very first day at the international body, she warned “those that don’t have our back, we’re taking names.”

She oversaw the U.S. withdrawal from the United Nations Human Rights Counsel, which Haley considered the organization’s “greatest failure,” and touted reductions in spending.

Late last year, Haley announced the U.S. was slashing the amount of funds it sends to the UN, calling it a “big step in the right direction.”

The U.S. contribution was reduced by $285 million from the previous two years.

Haley has also backed Trump’s efforts to cut off funds for the UN organization that aid Palestinians, echoed his attacks on Iran, and pushed back against countries that voted against the moving of the U.S. embassy in Israel from tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

She has also had her disagreements with the President, saying she had a “personal conversation” with Trump about his response to white supremacist violence in Charlottesville, Va. last year.

In April, White House aides openly criticized Haley for discussing sanctions against Russia ahead of the administration.

Haley voiced her displeasure with the White House’s handling of the situation after economic aide Larry Kudlow suggested that she had “momentary confusion” over the issue.

“With all due respect, I don’t get confused,” Haley responded in a statement.
