U.S. Cuts Funding for U.N. Population Fund
Foreign Policy Blogs
The State Department said on Monday it was ending U.S. funding for the United Nations Population Fund, the international body's agency focussed on family planning as well as maternal and child health in more than 150 countries, the Reuters reports.
The cut marks U.S. President Donald Trump's first move to curtail funding for the United Nations and is likely to raise further questions about how deep those cuts will eventually go throughout the organisation, where the United States is the top donor.
The cut follows Trump's proposed 28 percent budget reduction for diplomacy and foreign aid, including an unspecified reduction in financial support for the United Nations and its agencies, announced last month.
