Trump is looking to slash over half of US funding for UN programs; via the Hill:

The U.S. spends roughly $10 billion annually on the U.N., and the cuts could have the greatest impact on peacekeeping, the U.N. development program and UNICEF, which are funded by State’s Bureau of International Organization Affairs.

As with most things Trump, reactions on Twitter to this cut were mixed:

of course he does. The black cloud over America is growing with each passing day that Trump is in power.
