Haley: The US is capping its funding of the UN

[FakeNews]

United States Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley announced on Wednesday that America will no longer fund more than 25 percent of the organization’s peacekeeping operations.

Haley told the Security Council, “Peacekeeping is a shared responsibility. All of us have a role to play, and all of us must step up.”

Currently, the US is shouldering roughly 28.5 percent of the UN’s peacekeeping missions. The next-largest contributor is China, which pays 10 percent.

The contribution from the US has already been reduced $570 million from last year, at the insistence of the Trump administration. When that cut was made in June, Haley announced, “We’re only getting started.”

If I recall, vividly, it had something to do w/the Paris Peace accord/Climate Agreement. Trump thought US involvement could put the US at an economic disadvantage.

Also, it's about damned time everyone paid their fare share.

It's about time we stopped funding the enemy.

25% is still way too much for such a useless organization.

US out of the UN
UN out of the US

fair?

Yes. The Libdems were pretty pissed about it, but they've moved on to more current impeachment theories as our emission requirements continue to peak.

President Trump initiated it. But like they say, no foreign gov'ts are afraid of him and we're responsible for climate change. So, it must be Trump's fault if the UN is buckling cuz we ain't supporting so many of them as we were.

I wouldn't know about that. I'm more concerned w/my own little part of the world.
