US President Donald Trump is seeking to reduce his country’s contribution to UN programmes, as part of cuts to funding of US diplomacy and foreign aid in his administration’s budget proposal.
The spokesman for UN chief Antonio Guterres reacted fiercely to the plans on Thursday, saying “abrupt funding cuts can force the adoption of ad hoc measures that will undermine the impact of longer-term reform efforts”.
In its budget the Trump administration stated its intention to “reduce or end funding for international organisations whose missions do not substantially advance US foreign policy interests”.
This includes slashing funding for the state department
