(AP-Boston Globe) Jamey Keaten - National security adviser John Bolton told AP in an interview that the U.S. will cut funding for the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, which it left in June.

Bolton said, "We'll calculate 22% of the Human Rights Council and the High Commissioner's budget, and our remittances to the UN for this budget year will be less 22% of those costs."
