EU urges US not to cut U.N. funds, stay committed to climate deal
UNITED NATIONS—The European Union urged the United States on Tuesday to keep funding UN agencies and stay committed to a global deal combating climate change as Washington pushed the 28-state bloc to increase its pressure on Syria, North Korea and Iran.
US President Donald Trump has proposed an unspecified reduction in funding for the United Nations and its agencies, as well as enforcement of a 25 percent cap on US funding for peacekeeping operations.
