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 statement reads.

One of the Trump administration’s goals has been to reduce the amount of contributions that the U.S. makes to the U.N. The U.S. currently provides for about 22 percent of the annual budget, or about $3.3 billion per year, according to PolitiFact.
The U.N. General Assembly previously approved a $5.4 billion operating budget for 2016 and 2017. The regular budget is separate from the body's budget for its sprawling peacekeeping operations, which totaled $7.8 billion for 2017 alone.

I’d rather it be 2.85 billion less, but it’s a start.

Sorry, but that's fricking nothing. That's a UN restuarant tip.
US taxpayers still pay for the rest of the world to have their seat at the table the US owns...begging for handouts.
US taxpayers work more than any other Western Civ siesta country and they want not only our money but Europe wants to dictate what we do after they take the US taxpayers money and belittle us.
Yeah, that's a fair bargain.

Nice start. That should get their attention. If they pull little games again, we can pull out double that.

I think it was just a warning.

I’d go deep and cut 99.9% what we give the UN

Just cutting out the UN Cult Religion of Global Warming BS would more than double that amount.
ETA: Just saw this on my phone news, maybe the UN is having PenElec make up the funding. GoErie News- Woman Receives $284 Billion electric bill

The only thing that at pisses me off about this thread is I can only upvote the OP once.

I fricking love you Donald Trump. I will have your children

I think it's just a shot across the bow to get their attention...if they act like they are still entitled for us to carry the water for them, sink the damn ship!

That's not nearly enough... these are the folks that take a month off every summer and do lunchtime siestas on our dime. Time to say "frick you" and mean it. Especially when we can't get them to follow our lead when requested. Diplomatic immunity my arse - go home and take care of yourself. When you need us, we help on a quid pro quo basis. Bitches.

Cut the UN and all Foreign Aid to get the money for the Wall.

Time to kick the UN out of the US. Seriously. Make Canada take over hosting the UN.
The US could save billions by cutting support, kicking the UN out of the country, and selling off the land / buildings the UN currently occupies.
Or, the US could just say "we're done".

The UN *should* exist to prevent totalitarian regimes. Instead of worrying about Israel, they should be invading places like NK and Venezuela to remove the despots.
