The Meidas Touch reports:
In an undated Fox News clip discovered by MeidasTouch, Trump’s Department of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth was openly hostile toward the United Nations. Hegseth called for scrapping the UN, labeling it a body that no longer serves U.S. interests:
“Instead, we are funding the UN. We’re funding the WHO way more than China is, and what more are we getting for it. I mean, I’ve long been an advocate for scrapping the UN altogether. It doesn’t serve our interest today, and we could form our own organization of like-minded republics. I don’t know why we give into these people.”
Hegseth’s extreme position could severely undermine America’s standing on the global stage. The United Nations is a cornerstone of international diplomacy and conflict resolution with efforts spanning peacekeeping, humanitarian aid, and addressing global crises.
