Nikki Haley, United States Ambassador to the United Nations (U.N.), announced Sunday night that the federal government has reduced its contribution to the U.N.’s annual budget by 285 million dollars.
The Christmas Eve statement reads in full:
Today, the United Nations agreed on a budget for the 2018-2019 fiscal year. Among a host of other successes, the United States negotiated a reduction of over $285 million off the 2016-2017 final budget. In addition to these significant cost savings, we reduced the UN’s bloated management and support functions, bolstered support for key U.S. priorities throughout the world, and instilled more discipline and accountability throughout the UN system.
“The inefficiency and overspending of the United Nations are well known. We will no longer let the generosity of the American people be taken advantage of or remain unchecked. This historic reduction in spending – in addition to many other moves toward a more efficient and accountable UN – is a big step in the right direction. While we are pleased with the results of this year’s budget negotiations, you can be sure we’ll continue to look at ways to increase the UN’s efficiency while protecting our interests,” said Ambassador Haley.

HooRay !!!! Another Christmas present.
Merry Christmas, UN...enjoy that nice piece of coal in your stocking!
Great start.
Now. Kick the UN out of the US and convert the building to a Trump hotel.
A very welcome Christmas president for America but prayerfully only a first step towards shutting down the UnitedNazis once and for all. Or at least getting it and their thousands of spies out of our country.
You go girl! Wooooo wooooOOOOOOt.
That’ll learn em.
Merry MAGA Christmas!
Next, eliminate UN members’ immunity from U.S. laws. Bust them for the indecencies they commit when they’re here (i.e. trafficked girls on yachts for ‘entertainment’).
Each year the United States gives approximately $8 billion to the United Nations and its affiliated organizations.
Winning!
Yeah, I figured we'd be talking about pennies. Oh well. It's a start.
Finally, we, the USA, is putting it back in the face of the America-hating UN.
** FINALLY!!! **
IMO this $258 million reduction is about $7.75 billion too little.
Cut the UN off completely. Escort them all to the New York River and tell 'em to swim for home. Don't let any one of those despots come back to shore under penalty of being shot.
ATTAGIRL!
That’s a GREAT start hopefully leading to UNEXIT!
Wouldda been a $285 Million INCREASE if Hillary got in.....
This story is misleading. One part says the UU contribution is reduced by mentioned amount and another part says the over UN budget is decreased by the mentioned amount. While both could be true, one could also be incorrect.
It’s a start.
We warned you at the UN!
Hopefully, this will not be ‘walked back’ by Trump’s Team.
Not exactly a shot over the bow of the UN. More like a spitball in the wind. A weak response, IMHO.
