Ambassador Mike Waltz, the United States representative to the United Nations, outlined a renewed 'America First' approach to international engagement in an exclusive interview. Waltz emphasized that the United States remains the largest financial supporter of the United Nations but is demanding significant reforms, arguing that the organization has become inefficient and strayed from its founding mission. He credited the Trump administration with driving budget cuts and pushing for more accountability, while also supporting new initiatives like the Board of Peace to address global conflicts more effectively. Waltz called for a more focused United Nations, increased private sector involvement, and a shift away from traditional aid models, aiming to restore the organization's core mission of promoting peace and security worldwide.
