[Ambassador Mike Waltz @USAmbUN]

Today, the State Department and the United Nations signed a groundbreaking agreement to overhaul how the U.S. funds and oversees UN humanitarian programs.

This humanitarian reset at the United Nations should deliver more aid with better results aligned with President Trump’s foreign policy goals.
