The right is cheering news that the U.S. will cut UN funding
Was President Donald Trump right to cut what the U.S. will pay toward the United Nations’ budget? A roundup of editorials Thursday says he was and that he should do more.
Opinions from the right:
1. Trump gave U.N. what It deserved
Investor's Business Daily: The U.S. is where it should be with the U.N. – on the verge of defunding.
Nikki Haley "has performed to perfection, offering a model of the hubris and lack of awareness that consistently characterize U.S. foreign policy." https://t.co/3y9aFzAnxw

From columnist Star Parker: Why are we paying countries that hate us to disrespect us at the U.N.? We can get that for free.
"The inefficiency and overspending of the @UN are well known." @Nikkihaley announces a $285M cut in the 2018-19 UN operating budget just days after the United Nations voted to condemn @POTUS' decision to recognize Jerusalem as the Israeli capital. https://t.co/cH1XJVTxCa pic.twitter.com/bMv4DyFmOM

3. Time to defund the United Nations
From Townhall: Why is the U.S. pumping millions into a body that continually condemns our actions while making excuses for the poor treatment of their own people?
