U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz vowed that “we’re going to clean house” at the UN as he and reform envoy Jeff Bartos walked outside UN headquarters in Manhattan, blasting the body as “bloated and bureaucratic” while touting more than a billion dollars in early savings and what he called “DOGEing” — his push to apply Trump-style waste-cutting to the UN system.
In a video posted Tuesday on X, Waltz said President Donald Trump has “made it clear the UN has a lot of potential,” but stressed that “We can’t throw the baby out with the bathwaters” even as Washington forces long-avoided reforms on an institution he says has been allowed to grow bloated for decades.
