AEI’s @BrettDSchaefer: The Trump administration has a lot of things that they would like to do and these may not sound radical, but they would have enormous impacts in terms of the financial situation of the United Nations.

Instead of concentrating on large-scale multinational peace operations, the next secretary-general of the United Nations “should focus on quieter, cheaper forms of crisis diplomacy,” argues @RichardGowan1. foreignaffairs.com/united-na…

BREAKING: 🇨🇴 Colombia has withdrawn from South Africa’s baseless ICJ “genocide” case against Israel. More Latin American countries are expected to follow suit.

🇺🇳 António Guterres: “The scale of killing in Gaza is unlike anything I've witnessed in my years as Secretary-General.” FACT-CHECK: ❌ Under Guterres's watch since 2017: 🇸🇾 Syria: 120,000+ killed 🇸🇩 Sudan: 150,000+ killed 🇪🇹 Ethiopia: 162,000+ killed 🇾🇪 Yemen: 200,000+ killed

Today on @TimesRadio, @BrettDSchaefer and I look ahead to Andy Burnham's first meeting with US President Donald Trump. #TheTimes piped.video/HJL-8qROO3I?si=yeYM…

American Enterprise Institute @AEI Senior Fellow @BrettDSchaefer discusses Pres. Trump's relationship with the United Nations and his decision to reduce U.S. contributions: "When the president said we want to see different changes and different adjustments in return for U.S. contributions, they sat up straight in their chairs and listened."

Apparently, AI did something dodgy with the flags, so here is a graph without the flags:

There’s nothing more State Department FOIA-coded than this

The naysayers were wrong. Six years in, the Abraham Accords have withstood every test—and today in NY, we proved it again. Moroccan Foreign Minister Bourita & Israeli Foreign Minister Sa'ar agreed to advance their relationship on security, trade, and regional integration: ✅ Direct flights resuming by end of year ✅ Upgrading to full embassies ✅ Finalizing trade & investment pacts by 2026 ✅ Reaffirming US recognition of Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara

Critics do not dismiss the impact that UN humanitarian efforts can have. They are concerned that you reject oversight and vetting that facilitates misuse, diversion by terrorists, and lack of accountability. That is selfish and reckless. @dpletka @UNReliefChief See: aei.org/research-products/wo…

USAID OIG initiated an investigation into an alleged fraud in Venezuela involving US funded OCHA projects. UN investigators and OCHA refused to provide information. But they were willing to share information with the corrupt Maduro government (oig.usaid.gov/node/8203). Related: aei.org/research-products/wo…

A critical responsibility of the Department of State is to ensure that U.S. taxpayer dollars are not misused, mismanaged, stolen, or used to threaten the safety of Americans, write AEI’s @BrettDSchaefer and @dpletka aei.org/research-products/wo…

The IAEA referral of Iran to the UNSC sends a clear message: irrespective of U.S. and Israeli military strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities and the ongoing conflict, Tehran is still required to meet its safeguards commitments. My @FDD Policy Brief: fdd.org/analysis/2026/09/10/…

The yay’s have it, folks, with two-thirds required to pass. Iran’s nuclear file is headed back to the UN Security Council for the first time in 20 years. There, will Russia and China move to penalize Iran for refusing IAEA access to most sites for more than a year? Doubtful, but the move carries political significance and upsets Iran in any case.
