Several former diplomats who spoke to Fox News Digital say that an immediate concern for an incoming U.N. ambassador should be reigning in U.S. expenditures at the world body. Outflows to the organization grew from $11.6 billion in 2020 to $18.1 billion in 2022, when the U.S. covered one-third of the total U.N. budget.
“DOGE - for which the money is the matter - should have no such inhibitions when it comes to taxpayer dollars being used to fund dangerous and lethal U.N. output,” Bayefsky said. “The days of the United Nations as a global money-launderer for terrorists and antisemites dressed up as human rights experts and refugees need to stop right now.” The fraud and arrogance is stomach churning.
When 3.5% pays 33.3%, something is wrong. The population of the U.S. is about 340 million, the population of the world is 8.3 billion. The United States has but one vote of 193 member states, then we should pay less than 1% of the UN budget instead of 33% !
Most Americans do not want to finance our enemies. Much of the money that goes into the U.N. doesn’t buy us support; it buys our enemies’ weapons. The US spends too much money for an organization that is useless to us. DOGE to the rescue NOW.
