BREAKING NEWS…
President Donald Trump Just ENDED The UN!!!
President Donald Trump has given one of the best Christmas gifts the American People have
ever gotten, and once again kept another one of his many promises.
On Christmas Eve, the US ambassador to the United Nations, former South Carolina Governor
Nikki Haley announced that President Trump has given the order to cut its 2018 contribution
to the United Nations by $285 million, that's a cut of nearly 25 percent and a great start
in the plan to fully defund the Anti-Semitic and Anti-American United Nations.
All this came about when more than 120 nations criticized the United States for its decision
to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and for declaring we will be moving our embassy
to said city.
How dare we as a sovereign nation decide where we will put our embassy!
CNN Reports:
Graham: Defund UN after Israeli settlement vote:
Sen. Lindsey Graham will propose a measure to pull US funding for the United Nations
unless the UN Security Council repeals the resolution it passed condemning Israeli settlements.
"It's that important to me," he told CNN.
"This is a road we haven't gone down before.
If you can't show the American people that international organizations can be more responsible,
there is going to be a break.
And I am going to lead that break."
"I will do everything in my power, working with the new administration and Congress,
to leave no doubt about where America stands when it comes to the peace process and where
we stand with the only true democracy in the Middle East, Israel," Graham added.
He later told CNN's Dana Bash that US funding accounts for 22% of the UN's budget.
The United States on Friday allowed a UN Security Council resolution condemning Israeli settlement
construction to be adopted, defying significant pressure from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's
government in alliance with President-elect Donald Trump.
The Security Council approved the resolution with 14 votes, with the US abstaining.
Trump soon after tweeted, "things will be different after Jan. 20th," and on Friday,
a senior Trump transition official told CNN the transition team was "all hands on deck"
in working to kill the UN resolution.
Graham issued a statement after the vote, harshly criticizing the Obama administration
for abstaining.
"The Obama-Kerry foreign policy has gone from naïve and foolish to flat-out reckless.
With friends like these, Israel doesn't need any enemies," he said.
"I anticipate this vote will create a backlash in Congress against the United Nations.
The organization is increasingly viewed as anti-Semitic and seems to have lost all sense
of proportionality."
Graham traveled to New York last week to discuss the resolution with António Guterres, the
next UN Secretary General, and he spent the past week lobbying members of the Security
Council not to support the UN vote.
The South Carolina Republican also talked to South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, Trump's
pick for ambassador to the United Nations, about the resolution.
"The settlement issue is no doubt an issue," Graham told CNN.
"But this is not the way.
We abandoned Israel."
Citing the controversial 2009 Goldstone report about the Israeli conflict in Gaza, which
accused both Israel and Hamas of war crimes, as well as other anti-Israel measures at the
UN, Graham said, "enough is enough."
"The bottom line is with all of the problems we have, Israeli settlements are pretty low
on my list."
Graham said.
He added that he wanted to work with the UN to help stabilize Iraq and Syria.
He also was planning a joint efforts with the UN to create a Marshall Plan to support
countries emerging from conflict, but won't do it unless the UN overturns the resolution
"I am a huge supporter of foreign aid and the UN," he told CNN.
"I want to do more, not less.
But I can't support funding a body that singles out the only democracy in the Middle
East who shares our values."
Graham plans to move forward with his measure after the congressional recess when a continuing
resolution expires in April.
Senator Ted Cruz tweeted that he spoke with Netanyahu and assured him of support for Israel
in Congress.
"No US $ for UN until reversed," Cruz wrote on Saturday.
Graham hopes to create leverage for Trump to deal with the United Nations on the issue
when the President-elect takes office.
"Trump is a good negotiator.
Let's see if this give him some leverage," he said, adding if the world body overturned
the measure, the UN "has got a chance to reset and let the new administration restart
the peace process."
It's about damn time we defunded the scum in the United Nations.
Which has really turned into a place where nation's leaders send the people they don't
want around anymore.
The days of going against our nation's interests, and us paying for that disrespect are over.
There is no need to pay people to hate us, they can hate us for free.
Perhaps if they don't like it they can just move the whole UN to somewhere in the middle
east, I hear Dubai or Qatar would take them, just get that garbage out of our borders.
We don't need them here.
The truth of the matter is that the UN has spent the last half-century spewing hate against
the US and Israel.
And it's about damn time we said enough.
We have every right to do whatever we please, it's the perks of being a superpower.
And if the UN doesn't like it, they can get their "preferred nations" such as
Iran or North Korea, to fund them.
what do you think about this?
