Nikki Haley says she's glad she lives in New York because she doesn't want to be near the drama of the White House

United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley doesn't seem to mind being away from the action in Washington, DC.

Over the weekend, she told Chuck Todd on "Meet the Press" that she's glad to be living in New York, where the UN is based.

"I am glad to be living in New York just for that reason, is that I don't want to be near the drama and I don't want to be near the gossip," she told Todd after he asked about reports of clashes between Haley and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.

Haley brushed off the reports, calling them "palace intrigue" and "drama."

Haley's comments came after Politico reported that tensions between herself and Tillerson over their differing opinions of the Iran nuclear agreement were reaching "World War III proportions."

A source told The New Yorker that Tillerson "hates" Haley for eclipsing his position on the world stage.

"That is just so much drama," Haley told Chuck Todd. "I mean, it's really, it's all this palace intrigue."

But Haley didn't deny that tensions exist, telling ABC "This Week" host George Stephanopoulos that while she and Tillerson don't agree on everything, they unite behind whatever foreign policy decision the president makes.

"Sometimes Secretary Tillerson and I have different opinions, but when we come to the [National Security Council], everybody has different opinions," she said.

"At the end of the day, we present the president with all of the facts, we let him make decisions, and we all as a team go out and support that decision. My relationship with Secretary Tillerson or [Secretary of Defense James] Mattis or anyone else, it's all a great relationship because we are all looking out for the best interests of America."

While Tillerson and Mattis reportedly pressured the president to recertify the Iran nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, Haley reportedly supported the president's hostility to the agreement.
