U.S. Announces $285M Cut In 2018-19 UN Operating Budget by Vested(op): 9:58am On Dec 25, 2017
Haley announces $285M cut in 2018-19 UN operating budget


Calling it “a big step in the right direction,” U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley on Sunday night announced a historic reduction in the U.N. biennial operating budget.

Haley said the plan calls for a $285 million cut for the 2018-19 fiscal year.

“The inefficiency and overspending of the United Nations are well known,” Haley said. “We will no longer let the generosity of the American people be taken advantage of or remain unchecked."

She added, “This historic reduction in spending – in addition to many other moves toward a more efficient and accountable U.N. – is a big step in the right direction.”

The U.N. budget now covers a two-year period, beginning in January of an even-numbered year.

TRUMP PUTS HIS UN MONEY WHERE HIS MOUTH IS

The United States was seeking a $250 million cut to the U.N. budget for 2018-19, on top of $200 million in savings already proposed by U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, Agence France-Presse reported two weeks ago.

Guterres has proposed capping the U.N. biennial budget at $5.4 billion, shaving off $200 million from the 2016-17 budget.

The U.S. pays about 22 percent of the U.N.’s budget, or roughly $3.3 billion, and fully 28 percent of its peacekeeping effort.

The U.N.'s operating budget is separate from its peacekeeping budget, which was cut by $600 million this year, under pressure from President Donald Trump, AFP reported.

Trump last week threatened to cut off financial aid to countries that voted in favor of a draft U.N. resolution calling for the U.S. to withdraw its decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

The final tally was 128-9, with 35 nations abstaining, including five members of the European Union.

Hmmm...

Trump is already acting on his words.

I wish we could have a government that is fully committed to fulfilling its campaign promises with unprecedented urgency.
I learn a lot about what it means to have a working government from President Trump's administration.

When he cut funding to the reproductive health spending the Netherlands step in. When he back out of the climate change accord the French step in. This idiot don't know the world can do without them, but they need the world. He will soon cause an iraq-esque conflict and rallying the whole world to send in troops to augment our over rated military.

Hogwash!! The Netherlands stepped in to do what for reproductive health spending? Can u please say what exactly the Netherlands did? And it seems you don't even have a clue what the climate change accord is otherwise how can you claim France stepped in for the US. It was a commitment by nations to take actions in their respective countries to mitigate global warming. Now Trump is saying the US will no longer keep to those commitments so how on earth can France even step in for the US on this matter? Stop posting rubbish about things you know nothing about

Drumpf stop reproductive health spending and the Netherlands start giving funds to NGO's in charge of reproductive health in poor countries. A little google search would have cured your ignorance.

This idiot is so dumb, Obama was rallying countries at the background to keep to the commitment of the agreement. The French president step in to that position little wonder the Scott Brown and the other US governors side stepping drumpf stupidity are going to the French president on advancing the cause. The French president have also given funds and space for research in to the climate change narratives, since the USA present government are climate change denials. Shut up and let folks that know about the subject discuss the issue.

The US spends annually 607.5 million dollars on reproductive health funding and the Netherlands just offered 10million dollars for the fiscal year 2018, what a "step in". The French and indeed the EU have always been among those rallying other nations to meet their commitments to the Paris accord even before Trump's decision (The accord itself is named the Paris accord because it was signed in France) so the French are in no way stepping in for Trump on that score , they are just doing what they've always done

And common sense didn't tell you that the US spending include the money in poor US district? Plus the Bill and Melinda foundations plus other philanthropist outspend the US on double digit in reproductive health spending. In one breathe you said French and ain't doing jack and in another they are doing what they traditional use to do? You are a brainless double speaking POS. The last UNIFCC I attended in Bonn, the US contingents were sidelined and not given the traditional position of leading proceedings, only we NGO's organizations from the US are given any semblance of prominence.

Who give a damn who the heck you choose to worship. Rich coming from a third world dwelling simpleton. You need to live in this country to know the resentment peeps have for this administration. The DNC have won 85 percent of all elections after drumpf. The DNC flipped the house and governorship in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Plus a win in the reddest of the red state in Alabama, that have last elected a DNC candidate in the late 80's. The last average poll of the mid terms in 18 shows that the DNc have a +18 advantage. We Americans are ready to send the GOP to the antebellum era where they belong.

Guy stop putting words in my mouth, I never said the French ain't doing jack. I said they didn't step in for the US like you claimed. And suddenly its now the bill and Melinda gates foundation that is stepping in for the US right? Whatever those NGO's do is in addition to what the US does annually not as a replacement for it. They've always been providing those funding concurrently so that does not amount to a "stepping in for" and as for the US contingents been sidelined and not allowed to run proceedings, I'm sure that's the least of Trump's worries, let someone else run proceedings for a change. It's about time

Hahahaha, the libtard's button has peen pressed. What a joke. I know you libtards never believe in God but the human thin gods like Kilary and Obozo. Sorry, you know damn well New Jersey has always been a blue state. Chris christie's scandals was what returned it back to the blue corner, it had nothing to do with Trump cos New jersey never voted for Trump in the first place. As for Alabama the GOP lost it just for one reason ROY MOORE and u know it. It wasn't because they hate trump, Trump will trash any Democrat in A general election in Alabama. As for the useless polls, if we were to believe the polls then Trump wouldn't be President now. They all said Hilary would win

Did you think foreign spending are about helping the poor? You need a life time lesson in international politics and diplomacy. Why is the American government providing loads of cash to Egyptian arm forces? Why do we spend ship load of cash in Pakistan? Why do we pay the mujahideen during the Russia war. When you are able to answer these questions then you know foreign aids ain't use in helping any poor nation. We care about the USA been relegated to the second class, that why Gen Mattis and Tillerson are on every foreign trip trying to reassure our foreign partners to ignore the mad man child occupying 1600 Penn Avenue.

The US can never be relegated to 2nd class. The US will always be a force to reckon with. The US is a Military, economic and political superpower but it has been taken for granted for so long and Trump wants to put a stop to that.

So Chris Christie scandal made the GOP lost the New Jersey house? Plus the election at Georgia 04? Maryland and Birmingham mayorship? And loads of elections after the drumpf?

If the polls are useless as you want us to believe, why is Donna McDaniels on a panic mode on the blue wave coming in 18?? Why is drumpf dedicating 18 to be on the campaign road? Why he's always concerning about his abysmal ratings.

If you wanna put your money where you mouth is, let stake 200 grands on the mid terms. And we gonna use a trusted escrow service.

How?? By making our allies look like fool. Top intelligence around the world are limiting how they share information with us, since when the rretard in the white house start leaking to his lords in Russia. Economic super power? Stop kidding yourself and travel around the world. Plus drumpf knows no squat about the economy or how anything works in the USA and the world. Little wonder his own appointee Mcmaster and Tillerson gat rich description for his intelligence and brain capacity.
