In the book 'Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House' which hit the book stores yesterday, author Michael Wolff, claims that Haley has an eye on the presidency and Trump is seen to be grooming her for a national political future.
The move, however, was not liked by fired Steve Bannon, who once held the powerful position of White House Chief Strategist.
There was no immediate reaction from UN ambassador to the US Haley, who according to the book by October concluded that Trump at the most was a one-time president.
She is currently US Ambassador to the United Nations, which is a cabinet level position.
In the last one year, the two-term governor from South Carolina has emerged as a close confident of Trump and has been strongly pushing for Trumps foreign policy agenda at the United Nations, attracting frequent praise from Trump himself.
However, the book, which has been dismissed by Trump and the White House, but has dogged the media limelight for the past few days portrays Haley in a negative light says that the Indian American has a presidential ambition and does not has a good view of the president.
Haley"as ambitious as Lucifer", in the characterisation of one member of the senior staffhad concluded that Trumps tenure would last, at best, a single term, and that she, with requisite submission, could be his heir apparent, Wolff writes.
