NEW YORK —

U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-New Hampshire, is meeting with world leaders in New York as a week of high-level meetings gets underway at the United Nations.

Shaheen announced earlier this year that she is not running for re-election, but in her final two years of service in the Senate, she is continuing to carry out a crucial role in American foreign policy.

Shaheen is the ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, making her the top Democrat involved in American foreign policy. She can advocate on issues of American global leadership while sometimes disagreeing with the Trump Administration.

"I look for areas that we agree on and point out where I disagree," Shaheen said. "One of those areas of agreement is in Syria."
