Breitbart: President Donald Trump has instructed the State Department to slash its $10 billion budget for funding United Nations programs by as much as 50 percent, Foreign Policy is reporting.
The article said the move is “signaling an unprecedented retreat by [the] administration from international operations that keep the peace, provide vaccines for children, monitor rogue nuclear weapons programs, and promote peace talks from Syria to Yemen.”
FP used three unnamed sources for its report, which also called Trump’s directive “draconian measures” taken ahead of the planned release on Thursday of his 2018 federal budget proposal.
The budget “is expected to include cuts of up to 37 percent for spending on the State Department, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), and other foreign assistance programs, including the U.N., in next year’s budget,” according to the report, which went on:
That is a great move why stop at 1/2 though?
No, you FP dunes we have been paying for more than our share to fund the worthless, pathetic, bureaucratic and moribund UN, just as we have with NATO!
Good start.
“as much as 50%” ….. so is it 10% or 50% ?
Move in the right direction !
How about 50% this year and the other 50% next January??
the 50% is message 1, with a strong message 2 to follow
Why the hell should the US pay the lion’s share of all this international goodwill? And how dare FP whine about how bad we are for cutting off funds.
At this rate I think President Trump is probably not in the running for a Nobel Peace Prize. He is probably pissing off all the globalist voters if he hasn’t already.
FP: “U.S. retreat from U.N. could mark a “breakdown of the international humanitarian system as we know it.””
What a bunch of bullshit. You mean the “humanitarian system” that has turned its back on Israel?
FU FP
The Humanitarian system that imports rapists with blue helmets to terrorize the rural women? There’s a reason I drew blue helmets on all my long range targets
I hope their first complaint is that they can’t afford the rent in NY anymore and have to move
And how about the reduction in corruption, incompetence, ineffectiveness, bribery,
stealing from other countries, cost overruns, payments under the table, internal corruption, frightfully overpaid ministers, two multibillion-dollar headquarters, the list is endless.
It’s about time!
I would withdraw the entire about and give them the cost of renting the building. And if this didn’t shape up the UN then I would sell the building and develop it into condo’s.
Next he should bulldoze the entire complex into the East River.
A good move and should abort the IPCC reports
