UN does more harm than good, says Nikki Haley

The South Carolina Governor is expected to rap the United Nations for its treatment of Israel and ques-tion whether the US’ 22 per cent contribution to the world body’s annual budget is worth it in her opening testimony at her Senate confirmation hearing on Wednesday. 

“Are we getting what we pay for?” the 44-year-old popular Republican politician asks in a copy of her opening statement obtained by CNN. Haley, the highest ranking Indian-American to have been nominated in any presidential administration, in her testimony describes the United Nations as “an institution that is often at odds with American national interests and American taxpayers.”

“More Americans are becoming convinced that the United Nations does more harm than good,” Haley will say as per the leading US TV network. “Nowhere has the UN’s failure been more consistent and more outrageous than in its bias against our lose ally Israel,” the report claimed she will say. 

Meanwhile, Senator Chris Coons, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, met Haley at the US Congress.
