Global challenges require the best of American innovation. 🇺🇸

That’s why the @UN contracts more goods and services from U.S. companies than any other nation in the world, totaling $2.03 billion in 2025.

Did you know that American companies get about as much in @UN contracts as the US pays in dues?

Looking for just three reasons why the U.S. should engage at the @UN?

Hear it directly from @USAmbUN @michaelgwaltz at today's @HouseForeignGOP hearing.

[Peter Yeo @PeterMYeo]

Very pleased to hear the announcement from @StateDept on its investment in @OES_org, an initiative from @EleanorCrookFdn and the CRI Foundation.

This new investment builds on the work of orgs like @UNICEF, putting us one step closer to ending the scourge of child malnutrition.

Sen. Graham leaves behind a lasting legacy of public service. His voice, experience and commitment to US global engagement will be deeply missed, and we are grateful for his many years of partnership and leadership on these critical issues.

It’s been a week of mixed news in the fight against Ebola in the DRC and Uganda.

We have four promising vaccine candidates, while potential treatments are also being tested. This is genuinely good news – but they’re still months away.

In the short term, we’re depending on the public health response, and it’s struggling to keep up. Cases are now over 1,100 and the virus is spreading rapidly.

@UNICEF is on the frontlines, providing vital supplies, supporting contact tracing, and preparing neighboring countries for potential spread. Please consider supporting these vital efforts: https://t.co/iDYYrCSb69

[Peter Yeo @PeterMYeo]

Pleased to see an additional investment by the admin of $1 Billion into @WFP and @UNICEF.

Strong US leadership from @UnderSecretaryF and @USUNAmb paired with the @UN's operational scale is the world’s most effective tool for combating hunger and protecting vulnerable children.

[Better World Campaign @BetterWorldOrg]

🚨 Breaking: With help from @UnderSecretaryF and @USUNAmb @MichaelGWaltz, @USUN announces a major surge in humanitarian support.

Investing $800M in @WFP and $219M @UNICEF, the admin continues to partner closely with the @UN to deliver much needed relief.

Unexploded ordinances and landmines are often some of the biggest barriers to post-conflict recovery.

The good news? @unitednations agencies @UNMAS and @UNOPS are teaming up to tackle this problem head on.

The Ebola outbreak in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda continues to spread and remains a major concern. But we are seeing are some positives. We are making progress on vaccines, thanks to partners like @gavi, @CEPIvaccines, and @SerumInstIndia. And importantly, the U.S. and others are stepping up with significant contributions to frontline responders like@UNICEF.

There is still significant need. We need more PPE, medical supplies, tests, and staff to support contract tracing and community outreach.

The U.S. and others are stepping up. You can too. Please consider supporting UNICEF’s response: https://t.co/FXMrB7PHRY

New outbreaks of two deadly, untreatable diseases mean we must remain vigilant about threats beyond our shores.

How America and the world respond to these outbreaks and learn real lessons from them will be the rea tests of our global health security in 2026 and beyond.

Here’s what you need to know about hantavirus and Ebola, plus four key lessons we're already learning: https://t.co/3XIPiRZHSP

[Better World Campaign @BetterWorldOrg]

Following @WHO’s emergency declaration over the #Ebola outbreak in Eastern Congo, US officials are rallying partners like @AfricaCDC to contain the spread.

Dir. Chris Moore (@chrissocial2) explains why continued engagement with the WHO should be a key piece of the US response.

[Peter Yeo @PeterMYeo]

Today's announcement by the Administration to donate an additional $1.8 billion in humanitarian funding to @UNOCHA is significant.

For those interested in learning more, here is a thorough analysis from the @BetterWorldOrg: https://t.co/Slr3QbSkBx

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

I echo the Secretary‑General’s thanks for the United States’ further commitment of $1.8 billion to the humanitarian community.

At a moment of rising needs and declining funding, this support will help save millions of lives.

[Peter Yeo @PeterMYeo]

On a recent visit to Nepal, I met a little girl named Sharmila suffering from severe acute malnutrition. @UNICEF ensured that she had access to Ready-To-Use-Therapeutic Food -- often known as PlumpyNut -- which contains the nutrition necessary to bring kids back from the brink of death.

Talking to her mom and the nurse, it will be a long road back to health for Sharmila, but it's a road made possible by UNICEF.

[Ambassador Mike Waltz @USAmbUN]

Constructive meeting with @UNReliefChief Tom Fletcher about the key reforms needed for the UN to properly deliver on one of its core mandates: delivering aid to those most in need.

[Better World Campaign @BetterWorldOrg]

Through support from @unicef_nepal and @HelenKellerIntl, children like Sharmila are getting a second chance.

As BWC President @PeterMYeo saw firsthand, these hospitals providing interventions like nutrient-dense Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) are saving lives.

[Peter Yeo @PeterMYeo]

I was saddened to hear of the passing of @unfoundation Founder and Chairman Ted Turner. Over my last decade with @BetterWorldOrg, Ted's belief and support of our mission has continued to serve as a guiding light for our advocacy.

My thoughts are with his family and friends.

[United Nations Foundation @unfoundation]

The United Nations Foundation community is mourning the loss and honoring the life of our Founder and Chairman Ted Turner.
