UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) – The State Department said on Monday it was ending U.S. funding for the United Nations Population Fund, the international body’s agency focused on family planning as well as maternal and child health in more than 150 countries.
In a letter to U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Corker, the State Department said it was dropping the funding because the U.N. Population Fund (UNFPA) “supports, or participates in the management of, a program of coercive abortion or involuntary sterilization.”
The cut marks U.S. President Donald Trump’s first move to curtail funding for the United Nations and is likely to raise further questions about how deep those cuts will eventually go throughout the organization, where the United States is the top donor.
Liberal heads will explode
How come they haven’t shoved that POS compound
off of the continent yet?
Let Gates and Buffett fund it.
This is one instance in which we should ‘race to the bottom’ and become the donor giving the smallest amount of funds to the UN! We can then chant we are “Number 201” in the total amount of donations given!
What about just withdrawing from the UN. We pay a high price for all the America haters in the UN. Suggest they move out of the country.
The UN? I thought the cold war ended a long time ago.
