U.N. Envoy Draws From Playbook of an Aide Steeped in Conservative Ideologybr He has argued for the United States to "sever relations" with the United Nations Human Rights Council (Ms. Haley this week called the council "so corrupt"), and has outlined stepsbr that the Trump administration could take to pull out of the Paris climate agreement (Ms. Haley has said she worried about international commitments that could hurt American business).br Ms. Haley said this week that she wants to do a thorough review of the United Nations’ 16 peacekeeping operations to "determine where we need to augment, where we need to restructure,br and where we need to cut back." She also said she would seek to cap United States funding at 25 percent.br "The work Heritage has done on peacekeeping gifts herbr that on a plate." Ms. Haley won praise from Brett D. Schaefer, a Heritage Foundation fellow and a former office neighbor of Mr. Groves.br One of the main issues that Ms. Haley has promised to tackle at the United Nations comes from the Heritage Foundation’sbr playbook: How to fix peacekeeping operations, the organization’s biggest, most costliest element.br Days after the election, Mr. Groves co-wrote a piecebr that outlined how the United States should get out of the Paris climate accord, calling it "a raw deal for Americans." Among the recommendations of his essay in The Daily Signal, titled "The Pathway Out of Paris," was to stop financing the Green Climate Fund to help poor countries adapt to climate change.
