The European Union urged the United States on Tuesday to keep funding U.N. agencies and stay committed to a global deal combating climate change.

Agencies such as the U.N. children's agency UNICEF, the World Food Progamme and the U.N. refugee agency UNHCR are funded voluntarily by governments and the United States is a top contributor to many of them.

"Let me be very clear, and speak directly to our American friends. It is essential for us that we all keep investing in these U.N. agencies. They are as important to global peace and security as defense spending – or even more," EU Foreign Policy chief Federica Mogherini told the U.N. Security Council.

"Climate change is real, and is already impacting on our security environment. Everything is linked. So we continue to hope that the United States will find a way to remain committed to the Paris Agreement," Mogherini said.

The UN and the Paris Ponzie Scheme are Marxists wet dreams. Gut the UN budget and cancel the Paris redistribution scam Mr. President. Do not listen to Jared or Ivanka.

[Principled]

It’s always about our money. Nothing more, nothing less.

Don’t believe me? Ask what we can do besides give money.

[KyCats]

Dear Federica,

F’off and die.

Yours Truly,
USA

[nopardons]

EU has NO "power" over us and we need to get out of the UN, or at least cut what we give them, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back; NOW !

If we give in to this crap, then we are no longer a sovereign nation.

I hope his envoy Ivanka realizes this is a money scam.

If not, I pray Trump ignores her.

[dsrtsage]

Since there isn’t a single action Trump can take that will not cause outrage by the left anyway, he should just bomb the f*^&@ out of Brussels.

[Army Air Corps]

Amen, brah.

[vette6387]

I just had a “Federica Mogherini” removed surgically from my posterior.

[Army Air Corps]

Isn’t that some kind of suppurating cyst?

[NorthMountain]

We should:

1) Cut all funding to the UN.

2) Withdraw from the UN.

3) Evict the UN from these United States.

[Mi-kha-el]

Better still, get Jared and Ivanka out of the White House. I didn’t vote for them.

[aces]

agreed, cut it, tired of paying for everyone elses fantasy of cra%

[Mi-kha-el]

1) Cut all funding to the UN.

2) Withdraw from the UN.

3) Evict the UN from these United States.

4) Evict Jared and Ivanka from the White House.

Really? So, explain the violence in areas where UN "Peacekeepers" have a presence.

[gibsonguy]

The decision was ‘delayed” again today while the “climate czar” Ivanka met with that rat traitor Sen. Murkowski. Great just great. He’s going to break his promise count on it.

[hoosiermama]

So pay their share and stop relying on the US to do all the heavy lifting.

[longtermmemmory]

anyone with money and/or half a brain cell realizes this is a scam for money. They are just trying to figure out how to get themselves rich from this scam. (think bureaucrats of socialism)

[Rusty0604]

Amen.

[pt17]

Better still, get Jared and Ivanka out of the White House. I didn’t vote for them.

Trump needs to get the message that we didn't vote for them and, personally, I think he needs to instruct them to find other things to play with.
