Canadian Ambassador to the United Nations Bob Rae criticized President Trump over his recent comments and actions regarding Canada, saying the country deserves to be “treated with respect.” Rae joined Fox News’s Bret Baier for “Special Report” on Monday, just days after the president signed an executive order that imposed a 25 percent tariff on Canada. Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau later came to an agreement to hold the tariffs for a month, but the trade war and its impact on the countries has caused much concern across the country. “The concern that I think all Canadians have,...

Eighty years ago, on February 4, 1945, the Yalta Conference opened, at which the leaders of the victorious countries of World War II – the USSR, the US and UK – defined the contours of the post-war world. Despite ideological differences, they agreed to finally eradicate German Nazism and Japanese militarism. The agreements reached in Crimea were confirmed and developed during the Potsdam Peace Conference in July 1945. One of the results of the negotiations was the creation of the UN and approval of the UN Charter, which remains the main source of international law to this day. The goals...

Israel’s defense minister has ordered the Israel Defense Forces to devise a plan for Palestinians to leave the Gaza Strip, following U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposal for how the devastated territory would be administered.

Katz said the plan "will include options for exit and land crossings as well as special arrangement for exit by sea and air." Katz welcomed what he characterized as Trump's "bold plan" for...

One can’t help but see the grim irony in a United Nations event on human rights being held in Hangzhou, a major Chinese city known for its technological hubs, co-hosted by the People’s Republic of China (PRC). Perhaps the invitations were printed on forced-labor cotton paper, and the keynote address brainstormed over a surveillance feed of political prisoners. Leave it to the UN to turn hypocrisy into a high art. This past December, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) and the PRC co-hosted the Hernán Santa Cruz Dialogue on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights...

BUENOS AIRES (AP) — Argentina’s president has ordered the country’s withdrawal from the World Health Organization due to “profound differences” with the U.N. agency, a presidential spokesperson said Wednesday. President Javier Milei’s decision echoes that of his ally, U.S. President Donald Trump, who began the process of pulling the United States out of WHO with an executive order on his first day back in office on Jan. 21. The loss of another member country will further fracture cooperation in global health, though Argentina was expected to provide only about $8 million to WHO for the agency’s estimated $6.9 billion 2024-2025...

Bucking--not backing - Trump is a sure-fire recipe for committing political suicide President Trump has created a veritable diplomatic tsunami affecting the political fortunes of the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO), Hamas and Jordan - with his decision to cease all future donations to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) - currently US$360million per annum and comprising about 30% of UNRWA’s budget. The numbers of UNRWA-registered Palestinian Arab refugees in Jordan, the West Bank and Gaza have been increasing in leaps and bounds annually because they include all the descendants of those Palestinian Arabs caught up in the 1948...

For four years, I’ve reported about how a large, organized constellation of United Nations agencies partnered with hundreds of private nonprofit groups to direct billions of mostly US-taxpayer dollars into supporting historic illegal southern border crossing levels during President Joe Biden’s term in office. Even for the new Trump administration, this conglomerate of 15 UN agencies and 230 NGOs was proposing to spend yet another $1.4 billion on the migration trail in 2025, $1.2 billion more for 2026. That’s in addition to the more than $6 billion from 2020-2024 during the greatest mass migration event in American history. Separately, hundreds...

Ever since its creation in the aftermath of World War II, the United Nations has looked for ways to stick its nose into all manner of policies and programs that often have little, if anything, to do with its basic charter of ending hostilities between nations and preserving international peace. Since the turn of the 21st century, that meddlesomeness has led bureaucrats at the U.N. and in other international organizations to claim authority over firearm policies and activities by member nations, including, of course, the United States. These threats by the U.N. and other international organizations target rights guaranteed to...
