United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley followed up on her threat to “take names” Tuesday after the release of the State Department’s annual report detailing the voting records of member nations. “This is not an acceptable return on our investment,” Haley said in a statement.
Haley, upon learning that several of the ten member nations who voted with the United States the least were still receiving U.S. aid, was not satisfied.
“The American people pay 22 percent of the UN budget – more than the next three highest donor countries combined. In spite of this generosity, the rest of the UN voted with us only 31 percent of the time, a lower rate than in 2016. That’s because we care more about being right than popular and are once again standing up for our interests and values.”
According to the report, the other member nations voted with the U.S. 31 percent of the time last year — 10 percent less often than the year before.

"This is not an acceptable return on our investment."
Go Nikki!
> “... Acceptable Return On Our Investment”
TRUMP EFFECT.
Nikki learning how to speak Trump.
Wonderful to have a top-shelf business person in the White House. Everybody in the chain of command starts thinking rationally and practically.
Almost feel bad for the UN having to listen to that screech. Almost.
They’re going to have to change the name. UBBN. United But Broke Nations.
It NEVER made sense to give aid to a country which burns the flag whilst cashing the cheque.
Maybe if we collect all the parking tickets they don’t pay.
Shrill and belligerent is no one’s idea of power. Except other women. Perhaps.
If Haley thinks she can inspire moral leadership from the UN by reminding other countries that we bought and paid for them- I’m going to label this a FAIL
She is an embarrassment
Almost as good a line as the first.
And about time, someone said it to the UN members. The days of taking America's hard-earned, with long hours and sucky commutes, money with a smile and kicking us when we turn towards home, are over. Fini. Acun. Moi iya. No mas. Bu zai. Non pui. Nicht mehr. Done.
Nice to see someone finally letting that useless group hear the truth.
I have always thought that someplace like Brussels would be a good spot for the UN to function at.
It would be nice to get them out of the US but I doubt the UN could actually "function" anywhere.
Can someone post a picture of the chart showing who the main offenders are ?
Port-au-Prince.
“If Haley thinks she can inspire moral leadership from the UN...”
Well, I don’t see rational people expecting that — moral leadership. That’s a mostly Godless group of Marxist connivers, as prior adirectors have demonstrated. We might, though, see some money-grasping attitude shifts.
Cut their allowances until they start behaving.
Concurring bump...just cut the funding already and spare us the bully gurl drama.
In some ways, it amounts to bribery. “Investing” in the U.N. is not what the U.N. is for, IMO. If the vast majority of countries want to vote against us, that’s fine with me, just don’t give them our money.
Your comments are an embarrassment. She does an excellent job. She is a clear and logical thinker. Very coherent. Name a man who could have done any better. And she is not cowed by those nincompoops in the UN.
If you think we should leave the UN, I more than agree with you. The UN does not benefit us except to tell us, maybe, where the next civil war will be.
Overall, the UN is a losing proposition.
She is a Carpetbagger, but she is doing a great job at the U.N.
I still think she needs to behead a lower nations head of state with a genuine senshui samurai sword just to make the point “you dont mess with the US”.
Did you drink soy today?
Thank you
As a woman, so-called female leaders like Nikki Haley are an embarrassment
All the power players see through her
What must they think of us for having her in that job
Her treatment of fellow diplomats is immature snotty mean girl stuff
She peter-principled as a governor
Their gain in her departure was our loss
