Trump administration backs US candidate to retain UN telecoms post
GENEVA: The U.S. government on Wednesday backed a Biden-era nominee to stay in charge of a U.N. telecoms agency, underlining U.S. interest in global technologies in a relatively rare show of support for a multilateral body under the Trump administration.
U.S. President Donald Trump has so far largely retreated from U.N. institutions: he has cut funding to aid agencies, plans to leave the World Health Organization and has not yet installed permanent U.N. ambassadors in New York or Geneva.
