UNITED NATIONS — The European Union’s top diplomat on Tuesday urged the Trump administration not to cut
funding to the United Nations, nor to withdraw from a global accord intended to combat climate change.
Speaking in a United Nations Security Council meeting, Ms. Mogherini also bluntly advised the White House
to continue to fund United Nations agencies that provide humanitarian aid, including to refugees.

resolution, arms control experts have said it was not prohibited under the nuclear accord.
Haley said that The European Union can and should do more to underscore to Iran
that its destabilizing actions in the region, including support for extremist and terrorist groups, must cease,
