I hope Trump sticks by what he said about UN funding and foreign aid. They've all gotten so they act like welfare recipients.

Not all foreign aid is wasted money. The cost of the UN on the other hand is difficult to justify. Certain agencies of the UN are worth preserving but for the most part the rest of them are a boondoggle that we finance.

I think that we spend too much money trying to buy friendship from countries that only are our friends as long as the money keeps coming. Let’s see how long the UN will exist without our money , you know that the other countries are not now paying their full share and never have. So the majority of the countries are getting a police force for little if any money on their part. And whenever there is a natural disaster we offer aid but when it happens to our country we carry the load alone. Just think how much money we could put into our infrastructure if we didn’t prop up all of these so called friends (bought with aid money).

Just announced the US will cut $285 million from our share of the UN’s yearly budget. Yep we are taking names and we are doing something to let them know that we are pissed. Next step we kick you out and to some third world hell hole. Bye bye.

But this little snippet pretty much says what happened:
The United States announced a $285 million cut in the United Nations' "bloated" budget for next year, negotiated by UN Ambassador Nikki Haley. A statement by the United States Mission to the United Nations reads:
Today, the United Nations agreed on a budget for the 2018-2019 fiscal year. ‎Among a host of other successes, the United States negotiated a reduction of over $285 million off the 2016-2017 final budget. In addition to these significant cost savings, we reduced the UN’s bloated management and support functions, bolstered support for key U.S. priorities throughout the world, and instilled more discipline and accountability throughout the UN system.
Pleased with the cuts, Haley added "you can be sure we’ll continue to look at ways to increase the UN’s efficiency‎ while protecting our interests."
