The Trump administration has proposed eliminating funding for United Nations peacekeeping missions, including operations in Mali, Lebanon, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The proposed cuts are part of a larger plan to slash the State Department budget by about half. The budget must be approved by Congress, which could decide to restore some or all of the proposed funding cuts. The administration has also proposed the creation of a $2.1 billion America First Opportunities Fund to cover foreign economic and development assistance priorities.
