U.S. Ambassador Samantha Power urged the Trump administration on Friday not to cut funding to the United Nations, warning that this would be detrimental to U.S. interests and benefit countries like China and Russia.
“We lead the world, in part, by leading at the United Nations,” Power stressed at her final press conference before leaving the U.S. Mission on Jan. 20 when Barack Obama’s presidency ends and Donald Trump is inaugurated as president.
Supporters of Israel in the U.S. Congress have introduced a number of bills to cut off U.N. funding to protest Obama’s decision to allow the adoption of a Security Council resolution in December condemning Israel’s construction of settlements in the West Bank and east Jerusalem, which the Palestinians want for their future state.

It’s very satisfying to hear them plead and bleat. She is US Envoy to the UN for 6 more days only.
M M M ..............samantha powers married to cass sunstien........... enemy!
But we can lead from behind!
With Trump as CINC, we will have worldwide clout w/o wasting money on the United No-accounts...

If there is no UN, there is no soap box
