Sorry, but that's fricking nothing. That's a UN restuarant tip.

I agree. But at least we are some action being taken and going in the right direction.

Hopefully this is the first of many cuts.

Has any US president since FDR cut UN funding? Even a dollar?

All those complaining it isn't enough need to go stand by Bill Kristol in the corner and think about your expectations.

US secures $285M cut in UN budget

The U.S. currently provides for about 22 percent of the annual budget, or about $3.3 billion per year,

That's not enough.

That's just barely almost all of what we budget for the goddamn DoD off all places.

The cut should be like a billion dollars if we really want to make the UN feel the pain of the consequence of their rampant anti-americanism.

(no message)

That's a decent start.

You do know that the hill is a left leaning site don’t you?

Or are you ignorant?

That's not nearly enough

I agree, tell them to get their shite and get out

quote:

The U.S. Mission to the United Nations announced Sunday that it negotiated a major reduction in the U.N.’s budget for the upcoming fiscal years.

Only word I dont like in this sentence is "negotiated". Should have been "decided to"/

Liberals will report this as follows:

Trumps UN cuts take vital humanitarian aid and food right out of the mouths of the world's most needy.


The headlines will roast Trump just days after the same press roasted him for adding to the defect. The propaganda is so predictably horrible, it's not even fun anymore.

I think it's a trap. Take some off the table, wait for them to bitch, moan, groan, and and take the typical leftist approach to problem solving, then humiliate them by taking the rest of it.


Maybe it's just wishful thinking, but It plays into the POTUS' approach on things.
