Nikki Haley negotiated $285M cut in ‘bloated’ UN budget
UN Ambassador Nikki Haley announced that the United States negotiated a $285 million cut in the United Nations’ “bloated” budget for next year. “We will no longer let the generosity of the American people be taken advantage of or remain unchecked,” Haley said.
“In addition to these significant cost savings, we reduced the UN’s bloated management and support functions, bolstered support for key US priorities throughout the world and instilled more discipline and accountability throughout the UN system,” the statement said.
Haley’s announcement came just days after she slammed the UN for “singling out” the United States and voting on a resolution to oppose President Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. “The United States will remember this day in which it was singled out in this assembly for the very act of exercising our right as a sovereign nation,” Haley said ahead of last week’s vote. “We will remember it when, once again, we are called up to make the world’s largest contribution to the UN, and we will remember it when many countries come calling on us to pay even more and to use our influence for their benefit.”
