United States Cuts UN Budget by $285 Million

Truly the season of miracles (under President Trump, that is).

President Trump is standing by his word. A majority of  anti-freedom, antisemitic nations at the UN voted against the U.S. this week. Why should we fund out enemies?

285 million is a good start. Harder, faster!

Ambassador Haley on the United States Negotiating a Significant Reduction in the UN Budget

United States Mission at the United Nations, December 24, 2017:

Today, the United Nations agreed on a budget for the 2018-2019 fiscal year. ‎Among a host of other successes, the United States negotiated a reduction of over $285 million off the 2016-2017 final budget. In addition to these significant cost savings, we reduced the UN’s bloated management and support functions, bolstered support for key U.S. priorities throughout the world, and instilled more discipline and accountability throughout the UN system.

“The inefficiency and overspending of the United Nations are well known. We will no longer let the generosity of the American people be taken advantage of or remain unchecked. This historic reduction in spending – in addition to many other moves toward a more efficient and accountable UN – is a big step in the right direction. While we are pleased with the results of this year’s budget negotiations, you can be sure we’ll continue to look at ways to increase the UN’s efficiency‎ while protecting our interests,” said Ambassador Haley.
