Waltz Warns Countries Over Iran Sanctions, Highlights New Greenland Security Deal
Waltz says allies must fully enforce sanctions as Washington seeks to pressure Tehran and avert consequences for countries that fail to comply.
- President Donald Trump returns to the United Nations this week to press for Iran sanctions and institutional reform, U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Mike Waltz told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview.
- On Sept. 16, Washington paid $725 million toward the regular budget and $102 million for peacekeeping, though the United States still owes approximately $1.312 billion. These payments averted losing voting rights during the ongoing Iran conflict.
- The administration secured more than $1 billion in budget reductions, including roughly 3,000 headquarters positions cut and approximately 25% of peacekeeping personnel reduced. Waltz pointed to these efforts to justify continued U.S. funding.
- Following a Sept. 17 Security Council vote where Russia and China blocked sanctions monitoring, the administration is pressuring allies to enforce measures against Iran. Waltz warned countries failing to comply will face consequences.
- Nearly 73 heads of state converge on New York for High-Level Week, with the 81st General Assembly's General Debate beginning Tuesday and running through Sept. 28. The agenda addresses global challenges including the future of Gaza and international security.
