Today’s Secure Freedom Minute with Frank Gaffney: President Trump has a lot of legitimate complaints at the moment about our so-called “allies.” A number of them have refused our use of bases we pay for, permission to fly through their airspace, and help with the Strait of Hormuz, upon which they rely far more than we do for access to energy.
Such fair-weather friends just added insult to injury amidst the war with Iran by granting its monstrous regime both legitimacy and influence at the United Nations.
As the non-governmental organization UN Watch caustically observed, the United Kingdom, France, Canada and Australia were among the Western nations that nominated Iran to a seat on a UN committee whose responsibilities include shaping policy on human rights, women’s rights, and terrorism prevention.
To its credit, the United States stood alone in opposing this reprehensible travesty. Now President Trump should defund it.
