Trump's U.N. envoy Nikki Haley: 'Every day I feel like I put body armor on'
2018-07-24
UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump came into office disparaging the United Nations and appointed politician Nikki Haley as the ambassador to carry out his disruptive agenda, but she has also shown Trump how the world body serves his purposes, specifically on North Korea.

Skipping down to the bottom line:

Haley said Trump asked her what she thought of the United Nations, then 17 months into her post and after the United States became the first country to quit the U.N. Human Rights Council. She said she rattled off a litany of complaints.

"Unbelievably bureaucratic, it wastes a lot of money, it has some real biases against Israel, against us at times, it ignores a lot that’s going on that needs attention."

Haley’s relay of their phone call illustrates how she guides the president who shuns the international forums and pacts the United States has helped build over decades. When Trump took office, he called the U.N. "just a club for people to get together, talk and have a good time."

#5  I see nothing's changed. Read "The UN Gang by Pedro Sanjuan...easily read that is over 10 years old. Again, evidently nothing's changed.
