As Prime Minister Keir Starmer mingles with world leaders at the United Nations, British officials worry that a Donald Trump-shaped wrecking ball is heading for the global body.<\/p>\n<p>The U.K. leader\u2019s government has repeatedly stressed it will work closely with whoever wins the upcoming U.S. presidential election. But as the United Nations General Assembly gathers in New York, London simmers with anxiety that Trump could drastically cut funding to the U.N. if he wins the November ballot. A U.K. diplomat, granted anonymity to speak candidly, said there was \u201csignificant concern\u201d that if Trump decides to slash or even stop budget contributions to the organization, \u201cit will become very problematic very quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Two other U.K. officials spoke of misgivings about Trump\u2019s targets on the international stage, with one commenting: \u201cHe\u2019s erratic, and you just never know what you\u2019re going to get.\u201d Richard Gowan, U.N. director for the Crisis Group NGO, said: \u201cSenior U.N. officials are pretty convinced that a second Trump administration would impose even more savage financial cuts.\u201d Asked about Trump\u2019s plans for the U.N., Karoline Leavitt, press secretary for his campaign, said: \u201cPresident Trump will restore world peace through American strength and ensure European nations carry their weight by paying their fair share.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The last time Trump held office he took an ax to funding for the U.N. Population Fund, the U.N. Program on HIV\/AIDS, its Relief and Works Agency for Palestine, and the World Health Organization. He later moved to withdraw from the WHO completely. Trump also tried to cut aid to U.N. peacekeeping efforts by almost half a billion dollars. Although Congress rejected the plan, it agreed to enforce a cap on contributions, while the General Assembly significantly cut peacekeeping missions under pressure from Trump.<\/p>\n<p>The diplomat cited above said that beyond hits to individual institutions, the U.N. is assessing how it could handle a big overall cut in the U.S. contribution to its budget. Gowan warned the U.N. is \u201calready in dire financial straits\u201d and is tens of billions of dollars short of what it needs to run humanitarian operations in places such as Gaza and Afghanistan.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/donald-trump-would-hit-un-brutal-funding-cuts-uk-fears-election-us\/\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/donald-trump-would-hit-un-brutal-funding-cuts-uk-fears-election-us\/\">Politico<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/donald-trump-would-hit-un-with-brutal-funding-cuts-london-fears\/\">Donald Trump would hit UN with brutal funding cuts, London fears<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[3873,402,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-133962","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-trump","tag-un","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133962","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133962"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133962\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133962"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133962"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133962"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
