Vice President Mike Pence announced Wednesday night that President Trump has ordered the State Department to shut off funding for “ineffective” United Nations programs to help persecuted Christians in the Middle East, saying the administration will take over those efforts directly.
“From this day forward, America will provide support directly to persecuted communities through USAID,” Mr. Pence said at the In Defense of Christians annual solidarity dinner in Washington. “We will no longer rely on the United Nations alone to assist persecuted Christians and minorities in the wake of genocide and the atrocities of terrorist groups.”
Saying Christians have been victims of a genocide at the hands of the Islamic State across the Middle East, Mr. Pence said the “sad reality” is that the U.N. spends about $1 billion per year on humanitarian aid in the region that doesn’t help Christians enough.

WI(no U)NNing!!!!
Awesome!!! More Winning!!!!
More winning! Very smart.
Yes. Good idea. Skip the meddling middle man.
The UN is support of the most grotesque of the tyrants of the world.
The UN is purposeful incompetence in combating against the blatantly evil in power in many places in this world.
The UN and the NGOs and “peace keeping” forces it uses are the primary organizations for sex slave trafficking and child slavery for pedo/pederast purposes on the planet.
The UN is a crime against humanity.
WOW
I LOVE this idea!
USAID is full of lefties. This should be right up their alley, though they seem to be getting away from “Aid” and moving toward finance.
Winning!
As it should be!
Each country does as they are led to help or not.
None of this need others to agree and how much help and who pays etc etc nothing ends up getting done or done timely.
Go God! Go Trump, Pence and those willing to be used by God!
It used to grate me something fierce that we allowed UNESCO to parade in with our supplies as if it was the benefactor.
Dear Mr. Trump,
Thank you for bypassing the U.N. in this situation.
Could you please continue to bypass them? As in, kick their commie parasite butts out of our country altogether?
Thank you,
An American Citizen
NTOWY
What a great Prez!!!!
Axios!!!!
I hope this is the second step to getting the US out of the UN.
Deo gratias!
Trump knows that the U.N. is skimming 80% of the aid.
