U.S. to cut $285 million from UN budget

The U.S. Mission to the United Nations announced on Sunday that it would reduce $285 million from the UN budget in 2018-2019.

“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 statement said.
