United Nations chief Antonio Guterres said on Tuesday he is trying to convince U.S. President Donald Trump's administration of the value of investing in foreign aid and diplomacy and warned that if Washington pulled back as a global leader, other states would step up. Trump has proposed cutting U.S. diplomacy and aid budgets by about a third, or nearly $19 billion. This includes cutting some $1 billion from U.N. peacekeeping funding and a steep cut to funding for international organizations.

The ACU Foundation is launching the Policy Center for Statesmanship and Diplomacy today as a way to spread the message of the Reagan Doctrine and further educate grassroots conservatives on foreign policy.
