YES! Trump Administration orders end of funding to UN to provide humanitarian aid to persecuted religious minorities in the Middle East

Instead, from now on, America will provide financial and humanitarian support “directly” to persecuted Christian communities in the Middle East through USAID rather than funneling it through the corrupt UN,” VP Mike Pence told Middle East Christian leaders gathered in the nation’s capital for the annual ‘In Defense of Christians’ summit.

Breitbart (h/t Liz) “President Donald Trump has directed the U.S. State Department to stop relying on the United Nations to provide humanitarian aid to persecuted religious minorities in the region.”

“My friends, those days are over,” Pence said, adding that the Obama administration paid more than one billion dollars for humanitarian aid, with the majority of the funding funneled through the U.N. “Yet the United Nations has too often failed to help the most vulnerable communities, especially religious minorities,” Pence said. “The result has been that countless people continue to suffer and struggle needlessly.”

Pence called it a “sad reality” that the main U.N. presence in terror-ridden places like Syria and Iraq is their flag posted on abandoned buildings in places where persecuted Christians are not even present. “And while faith-based groups with proven track records and deep roots in these communities are more than willing to assist, the United Nations too often denies their funding requests,” Pence said.

“Our fellow Christians and all who are persecuted in the Middle East should not have to rely on multinational institutions when America can help them directly,” Pence said, announcing Trump’s order to the State Department to “stop funding ineffective relief efforts at the United Nations.”

“And from this day forward, America will provide support directly to persecuted communities through USAID,” he said. Pence concluded his remarks by citing scripture, specifically Hebrew 13:5-6 in the New Testament: “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

  •         NO MORE UN IS RIGHT !! 

  • Thanks for this post Mr. Finley, this is refreshing news to see Trump Pence taking the moral high ground and kicking the fascist of the corrupt UN to the side of the road. Our Christian brothers and sisters in the mid east are being slaughtered by murderous hate mongers of Islam. Long overdue for anyone in Washington to stand up for the purely innocents in that region. Past administrations should be whipped for not taking such a hard stand against the UN.
    Thank the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob for hearing the prayers of his servants and delivering Trump Pence to take this stand against religous genocide.
    Please America, no more military support to the UN.

    God Bless America and the State of Israel
