Trump's UN Ambassador Nikki Haley cuts 285 million from UN budget.

“We will no longer let the generosity of the American people be taken advantage of or remain unchecked.”

Trump and Nikki acting like a boss backing up their words with action to support the American people.

More than the "gravy train" is over............with idiots like Trump and Haley creating havoc and damaging our relationships around the world, we are going to pay a serious price for this some day. Not everything comes down to dollars and cents.

Why does diplomacy have such a bad rep among Republicans?

Odd the way team Trump defends countless contacts with Russians as valuable diplomacy but guts the State Dept. and the U.N.

Im okay witn Trump not starting another war or increasing tensions with another nuclear nation. Now if we could get him to end the wars that his predecessors started.

And its odd so many equate diplomacy with giving the money of american citizens to foreign governments.

Diplomacy is one thing. Paying the lion's share of the freight and not being appreciated is another.

This is the UN - where they continually bash Israel, and many of these other countries that we are supposed to be diplomatic with, racks up their own human rights abuses.

It's one thing to be against what the US did... it's another to formalize an official condemnation. What about their diplomacy?

Any organization that had/have countries like Libya,China,Syria heading the Commission on Human Rights is not one I'd ever listen or give any respect to...

That's a drop in a barrel of water when the US provides about $3.3 billion a year to finance U.N. activities.

That's less than the $300 million the US gives to the UNRWA alone.

Good -- cutting $$ from the bloated bureaucracy of the U.N. is as good a place as any to start.
The rest of the world won't like it - but who cares.
