"The UN must answer why these highly concerning incidents continue to happen against the president and his staff," Kelly said.
"We are outraged that a member of the U.S. delegation was physically assaulted inside of UN Headquarters the afternoon of September 25," a U.S. UN spokesperson told Fox News Digital. "This attack must be addressed swiftly, and consequences must be felt."
The spokesperson told Fox News Digital that "the UN itself recognizes that it has lost its way."
"Now, it has devolved into an arena where an American delegation member is harassed and assaulted," the spokesperson said. "If you can’t keep people safe in your own building, how can you claim to be the world’s diplomatic center?"
The spokesperson called the incident "unacceptable," and told Fox News Digital that the United Nations "will use every available resource to support the U.S. Secret Service into their investigation of this incident."
"We know the UN needs dramatic reform and now must also immediately implement a thorough review of the UN’s security operations," the spokesperson said. "The UN’s failures are evident worldwide, and now in its own halls."
The U.S. UN spokesperson added: "Enough is enough."
The official recounted her experience of being followed, harassed, and physically assaulted inside the United Nations in an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital.
The official told Fox News Digital that she was walking down the hallway at the UN when a woman began berating her and shining a bright light in her face.

The official waited for the screaming to stop, and exited the stall, hoping the woman had left, but the woman was waiting for her at the door, and continued to follow her into the hallway, continuing to yell at her and shine the light in her face. Eventually, the official was able to get away.
The official told Fox News Digital the incident lasted approximately 10 minutes.
"It felt very political in nature," she said. "Secretary Kennedy gets a tremendous number of bows and arrows and threats that he deals with, but it seems that it’s not enough, and it is trickling down."

She added: "That’s a scary thing for the team. But we’re more empowered, and we have amazing leadership."
