Bureaucrats and diplomats at the United Nations are scrambling to adjust to the new Trump administration. One thing seems certain. The Obama days of wine and roses for the UN are over. The Trump administration is reportedly laying the groundwork for cuts of at least 50% to U.S. funding for United Nations programs. U.S. diplomats warned key UN member states to “expect a big financial restraint” on American spending at the UN at a meeting earlier this month in New York City, according to sources cited by Foreign Policy. The United States spent nearly $10 billion in total on the United Nations in 2015 alone, based on available data. This includes U.S. payment of 22 % of the UN’s regular budget and about 28.5% of its peacekeeping budget, which together add up to over $3 billion annually. The U.S. has contributed billions of dollars more in voluntary donations to various UN agencies, programs and flash humanitarian appeals. Based on available 2015 data, cutting just the U.S. voluntary contributions by 40 % would save about $2.7 billion a year.

The United Nations is a corrupt, America hating collection of third world dictators, leftists, jihadists and worse. The American taxpayers should not be forced to finance these people.
AND 9.5 billion went into someones’ Swiss bank account.
I am STILL not tired of winning!
“...The American taxpayers should not be forced to finance these people....”
Yep, the UN, for far too long, has been a money laundering hate group of U.S. enemies. Let us hope they are forced to pay for their own anti-American existence to the point where they are forced to move to another country. And let the far-left go with them.
Let's pray this is the first cut of many...
Kick them all out, and let them telecommute to work from their sh*t-hole countries.. .
Good for President Trump!
“No More Gravy Train for the United Nations”.........
It isn’t a done deal just yet but I agree with Trump cutting those purse strings away from the U.N. aka, “Useless Nothings”.
U.S. OUT OF U.N.; U.N. OUT OF U.S., NOW!
Send ‘em packing to Paris, Brussels, Nairobi or Beijing!
