b*****d 发帖数: 61690 | 1 U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley on Thursday dismissed a
poverty report by the United Nations, saying it’s “ridiculous” for the
intergovernmental body to analyze American poverty.
“It is patently ridiculous for the United Nations to examine poverty in
America,” Haley said in a letter to Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).
“The Special Rapporteur wasted the UN’s time and resources, deflecting
attention from the world’s worst human rights abusers and focusing instead
on the wealthiest and freest country in the world.”
Sanders, along with several Democratic lawmakers in both chambers, earlier
this month sent a letter to Haley asking her to show President Trump the
conclusions of the report published by the United Nations Special Rapporteur
on extreme poverty and human rights.
The report blamed poverty in the United States on politics. |
