The
New York Times reported (50% probabilty of accurcy) Wednesday in a
breaking story that the staff of U.S. President Donald J. Trump is
preparing an executive order that would terminate funding for any
United Nations agency or other international organization that gives
full membership to the Palestinian Authority or the Palestine
Liberation Organization.
In addition, the order terminates funding for programs or activities
that fund abortion or circumvent sanctions against Iran or North Korea.
According to the report, the draft order also calls for terminating
funding for any organization that is “controlled or substantially
influenced by any state that sponsors terrorism” or is held responsible
for persecution of marginalized groups, or systematic violation of
human rights.
Moreover, the order calls for a minimum 40 percent cut across the board
in remaining U.S. funding of international organizations, and
establishes a committee to make recommendations as to where the cuts
should be made.
The list of potential targets includes funding for peacekeeping
operations, the International Criminal Court at The Hague, aid to
nations who “oppose important United States policies” and the United
Nations Population Fund.
A second executive order calls for a review of all current and pending
treaties with more than one other nation – applicable only to those not
“directly related to national security, extradition or international
trade”– and asks for recommendations on which to retain.
