United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley defended the Trump administration’s plan to drastically cut America’s spending on the UN Tuesday. She told a House subcommittee that the proposed cuts had sent “shockwaves” through the body — and that such cuts had put the UN “on notice.”

“My job was to go the UN and find value,” Haley told a House appropriations subcommittee. “We want to make sure the U.S. voice is strong, use it for negotiations in every way possible, to push foreign policy… but at the same time the UN has fat around the edges.”

Haley faced tough opposition from Democrats, and even Republicans, who expressed concern at the drastic nature of some of the cuts being proposed to U.S. funding of the UN’s various agencies. The U.S. is commonly the top funder of most budgets, even those with a distinctly anti-American bias.

Democrats, however, blasted the cuts, with Rep. Nita Lowey (D-NY) calling them “far-reaching and catastrophic.”

“Frankly I cannot understand how this administration intends to influence the UN agenda, help those most in need, and advance UN reform if it disengages and severely cuts our contributions,” Lowey said.

I see also on another thread that she took her son to watch the Recent Gay Pride Parade in Noo Yawk. Not a good example of Conservative values in my opinion.
