Haley announces $285M cut in 2018-19 UN operating budget

Calling it “a big step in the right direction,” U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley on Sunday night announced a historic reduction in the U.N. biennial operating budget.

Haley said the plan calls for a $285 million cut for the 2018-19 fiscal year.

“The inefficiency and overspending of the United Nations are well known,” Haley said. “We will no longer let the generosity of the American people be taken advantage of or remain unchecked."

She added, “This historic reduction in spending – in addition to many other moves toward a more efficient and accountable U.N. – is a big step in the right direction.”

The U.N. budget now covers a two-year period, beginning in January of an even-numbered year.

I agree with this move.
Israel can now take care of any UN activities as it moves to become the capital of the world.

I love Nikki Haley and perhaps after Trump's two terms she can be our first female president.
It's about time the U.S. withdraws funds from that wasteful agency.
Checks and balances. That's how things are supposed to work.

The good president is not only elected to watch over our money, he is doing it. This ambassador is not resisting the president. We need all of the politicians to follow these two.
Locally we only have two, Joe Holloway and Mark Kilmer. Mr. Joe has been doing so since in office. He should be the executive.

About time the UN is going to be held accountable and US tax dollars remain in the US.

Haley would be so much a better choice for our first female president than a Clinton Hilda-Chelseawildabeast!

This is funny. The majority of people have no idea what the UN is. It's as stupid as people thinking all Catholics were beholding to the Pope.
