The New York Times reported Wednesday in a breaking story that the staff of U.S. President Donald J. Trump is preparing an executive order that would terminate funding for any United Nations agency or other international organization that gives full membership to the Palestinian Authority or the Palestine Liberation Organization.
In addition, the order terminates funding for programs or activities that fund abortion or circumvent sanctions against Iran or North Korea.
According to the report, the draft order also calls for terminating funding for any organization that is “controlled or substantially influenced by any state that sponsors terrorism” or is held responsible for persecution of marginalized groups, or systematic violation of human rights.
Moreover, the order calls for a minimum 40 percent cut across the board in remaining U.S. funding of international organizations, and establishes a committee to make recommendations as to where the cuts should be made.
The list of potential targets includes funding for peacekeeping operations, the International Criminal Court at The Hague, aid to nations who “oppose important United States policies” and the United Nations Population Fund.
A second executive order calls for a review of all current and pending treaties with more than one other nation – applicable only to those not “directly related to national security, extradition or international trade”– and asks for recommendations on which to retain.
I hope all these EO’s gain much support in the legislative branch.
Or....wait....no I don’t really care.
Obama set the precedent.
Never let them forget it!
Go Trump!
Holy moley!
That... might be worth $212 million...
Obama’s midnight money drop to his friends may cost them ...
Good one..!
I have had a few touches of that, I believe.
Highly contagious, too..!
Can’t remember who was quoted this week as saying:
“obamma’s legacy can be expressed in two words: donald trump”
Sooo much common sense & patriotism IN ONE PRESIDENT......Trump clearly rivals George Washington.....
O’Jackass should be too ashamed to ever visit D.C.
Has there EVER been a President like Trump?
Trump just sees 2.8 mil people under his control, and he loves to delegate. Looks like he is good at it too.
My church friends are absolutely thrilled that there’s a real Christian in the White House.
Good one!
I am going to have to get a HAZMAT suit with all the liberals’ heads exploding all around me here in Massachusetts!
I imagine many broken coffee cups, snapped pencils and scattered papers in NYT editors offices today.
The "Trump Dream" has become reality.. thank God!
Nope, not tired yet.
If the DoEd does have "fully armed shock troops", my guess is they are a bunch of guys who like running around in Combat Gear, growling fiercely and collecting a decent paycheck. I would not expect them to be especially loyal to the Liberal agenda or the people currently running DoEd.
We'll see.
Awesome
that’s the word for it, surreal. i feel like i’ll wake up and it’s all been a dream.
