Trump news today

The U.S. is pulling its membership from the United Nation’s Human Rights Council, and cites alleged discrimination against one of America’s allies.

The U.S. Ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, announced the decision this week following previous disputes with the organization over what she calls, “chronic anti-Israel bias,” according to reports.

Recently, the Ambassador was one of the few representatives opposing a measure which requested an official investigation into allegations accusing Israel of excessive force.

In December, Haley chastised members of the group for voting in favor of a proposed measure which would have condemned President Trump, regarding his move of the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

“The United States will remember in which it was singled-out for attack for expressing our right as a sovereign nation,” she said.

As the agency’s largest contributor, the U.S. pays more to the UN than any other member State.

She asked the Board to make expelling potential human rights abusers easier, specifically referring to China, Saudi Arabia, and Venezuela.

The last time the U.S. exited the Council, it was later reversed by the Obama administration.

There is no set date for when the U.S. will formally make its split, but Haley is calling it, “imminent.”

Do liberals want NoKo to use nukes so Trump won't get any credit for peace?
