独家报道： 美国常驻联合国代表迈克·沃尔茨大使在接受福克斯新闻数字版的独家广泛采访中，阐述了特朗普政府以”美国优先”为中心的政策。这位前国家安全顾问正在该职位上巩固自己的影响力。
沃尔茨驳斥了当前联合国资金危机主要是美国未缴会费导致的说法。”美国向联合国系统缴纳的资金超过180个国家的总和，”他指出，”我们历来是联合国最大的支持者，但在特朗普总统任下，我们要求改革。”
沃尔茨认为联合国已偏离其成立使命。”有时联合国对美国的外交政策和目标非常有帮助，但有时它却与我们背道而驰，”他表示，”它变得臃肿，重复工作增多，已经偏离了最初的使命。”
沃尔茨将这一做法描述为”美国优先” doctrine 的一部分，重点是对纳税人资金的问责和成员国间的负担分担，称华盛顿的财务杠杆旨在推动变革。”当我们对联合国提出严厉要求时…这些是美国纳税人辛苦赚来的钱，”他说，”说到底，我们要确保美国纳税人的钱物有所值。”
联合国对特朗普”大胆行动”改善委内瑞拉局势感到”不安”，沃尔茨大使称

本周早些时候在联合国，秘书长将危机归咎于成员国未履行义务。当被问及美国将如何支付费用时，沃尔茨表示：”问题不在于信心，义务就是义务。就义务而言，不是是否有信心的问题，而是是否履行义务的问题。”
秘书长发言人在回应福克斯新闻数字版的提问时，拒绝承认联合国财政危机源于内部管理问题，并重复这一立场称资金状况”非常清楚”，指出一些最大的出资国尚未付款，同时声称秘书长自任期开始以来一直是联合国财务的”负责任管理者”并推行管理改革。
“他们刚刚同意削减近3000个总部官僚职位，”沃尔茨在为美国辩护时表示，”他们同意了80年来联合国历史上首次预算削减，削减15%，并削减25%的全球维和部队。”
“有趣的是，幕后很多人都说谢谢。这个地方需要改进。特朗普总统是对的，它没有发挥潜力。我们应该问自己，为什么联合国不能解决柬埔寨和泰国的边境争端？为什么不能推动苏丹的人道主义灾难得到解决？这才是联合国的初衷。感谢上帝，特朗普总统正在推动这些改革，但他在问为什么他必须独自行动。联合国在哪里？所以我们决心帮助他们履行改革承诺，履行其使命。”
“世界上必须有一个地方让所有人都能对话，”他说，”总统是和平的总统，他把外交放在首位。”
当被问及联合国领导层是否在为改革世界机构做足够努力时，沃尔茨表示秘书长安东尼奥·古特雷斯已开始朝着正确方向迈进，但本应更早行动。
“秘书长采取了正确方向的步骤。坦率地说，我希望他能更早、更积极地采取行动，”沃尔茨说。

他援引结构性变革和整合努力，同时强调必须有可衡量的结果。
“联合国的预算在过去25年翻了两番，”沃尔茨说，”但全球和平并没有相应增长，反而出现了相反趋势。”
当被问及政府的加沙和平框架和所谓的”和平委员会”是否是联合国的替代方案时，沃尔茨表示这些机构旨在补充而非取代联合国。
“总统不打算让和平委员会取代联合国，而是希望推动许多冲突走向解决，”他说。
“作为总统20点和平计划的一部分，和平委员会将实际实施这一计划，”他补充道。
他说，和平委员会涉及地区政府，旨在建立实地稳定结构。”埃及参与了，土耳其参与了，海湾阿拉伯国家、约旦以及重要的以色列也参与了，”他说，”我们将建立一支稳定部队，建立人道主义援助重建的资金机制，以及巴勒斯坦技术官僚委员会来恢复政府服务。”

展望未来，沃尔茨表示政府希望联合国更精简、更以任务为导向，专注于安全、冲突解决和经济发展。
“我看到一个更加专注的联合国，我们已经将其带回促进全球和平与安全的基本使命，”他说。
他还呼吁更多私营部门参与，减少对传统援助结构的依赖。”非政府组织和机构到政府面前只是说’更多，更多，更多’的旧模式不可持续，”他表示，”如果我们在发展中国家创造欢迎美国企业的环境…我们就能打破对发展援助的依赖，所有人都将受益。”

最终，沃尔茨将自己的角色定义为执行外交政策愿景。”我是总统愿景的载体，”他说，”在我看来，到他任期结束时，他看到联合国正引领各国朝着和平解决全球冲突的方向前进，并请求他的帮助。这比总统不得不独自行动并质问’联合国在这些冲突中在哪里’要好得多。我们正计划彻底扭转这种局面，并且我们有计划做到这一点。”

Waltz defends admin’s funding pressure on the United Nations, lays out vision for smaller mission-focused organization
By Efrat Lachter | Fox News
Published February 7, 2026 11:30am EST
EXCLUSIVE: Ambassador Mike Waltz, the U.S. permanent representative to the United Nations, outlined the Trump administration’s “America First”-centered policies that he is adopting in a wide-ranging, exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, as the former national security advisor asserts himself in the role.
Waltz rejected claims that the present U.N. cash crisis was primarily a result of unpaid U.S. dues. “The United States pays to the U.N. system, more than 180 countries combined,” noting, “We have historically been the largest supporter of the U.N., but under President Trump, we’re demanding reform.”
Waltz argued the organization has drifted from its founding mission. “There are times where the U.N. has been incredibly helpful to U.S. foreign policy and objectives, but there are also times where it’s working against us,” he said. “It has become bloated, it has become duplicative, it has lost its way from its original founding.”
Waltz framed the approach as part of an “America First” doctrine focused on accountability for taxpayer dollars and burden-sharing among member states, saying that Washington’s financial leverage is intended to force change. “When we give the U.N. some tough love … these are the American taxpayers’ hard-earned dollars,” he said. “At the end of the day, we will get the American taxpayers’ money’s worth, so to speak, out of this organization.”
UNITED NATIONS ‘UPSET’ THAT TRUMP TOOK ‘BOLD ACTION’ TO IMPROVE VENEZUELA, SAYS UN AMB. MIKE WALTZ

At the U.N. earlier this week, the secretary-general framed the crisis as a matter of unpaid obligations by member states. When asked what gives him confidence the United States will pay, he said, “The question is not one of confidence. Obligations are obligations. So in relation to obligations, it’s not a matter of having confidence. It’s a matter of obligations being met.”
The secretary-general’s spokesperson, in response to a Fox News Digital question, rejected the idea that the organization’s financial crisis stems from internal management and echoed that position, saying the funding situation is “very clear,” pointing to the fact that some of the largest contributors have not paid, while arguing the secretary-general has been a “responsible steward” of U.N. finances and has pursued management reform since the start of his tenure.
“They just agreed to cut nearly 3,000 headquarters bureaucratic positions,” Waltz said in their defense. “They agreed to the first-ever budget cut in U.N. history in 80 years, a 15% budget cut, and they’re cutting global peacekeeping forces by 25%.”
“What’s interesting is, behind the scenes, a lot of people are saying thank you. This place needs to be better. President Trump is right. It’s not living up to its potential. We should ask ourselves, why isn’t the U.N. resolving things like border disputes with Cambodia and Thailand? Why aren’t they really driving the humanitarian catastrophe in Sudan to a resolution? That’s what the U.N. was built for. Thank God President Trump is, but he’s asking the question of why is he having to do all of this. Where’s the United Nations? So we’re determined here to help them live up to their reforms, live up to their mandate, live up to their mission.”
“You have to have one place in the world where everyone can talk,” he said. “The president is a president of peace. He puts diplomacy first.”
Asked whether U.N. leadership is doing enough to reform the world body, Waltz said Secretary-General António Guterres has begun moving in the right direction but should have acted sooner.
“The secretary general has taken steps in the right direction. Frankly, I wish he had done it much sooner in a much more aggressive way,” Waltz said.

He cited structural changes and consolidation efforts while arguing that measurable results must follow.
“The U.N.’s budget has quadrupled in the last 25 years,” Waltz said. “We haven’t seen a quadrupling of peace around the world. In fact, it’s gone the opposite direction.”
When asked if the administration’s Gaza peace framework and a mechanism known as the Board of Peace are alternatives to the U.N., Waltz said they are intended to complement the institution rather than replace it.
“The president doesn’t intend the Board of Peace to replace the U.N., but he intends to drive a lot of these conflicts to conclusion,” he said.
“As part of the president’s 20-point peace plan was also the Board of Peace to actually implement it,” he said.
He said the Board of Peace involves regional governments and is designed to create a stabilization structure on the ground. “The Egyptians are involved, Turkey’s involved, the Gulf Arabs, Jordan and importantly, the Israelis,” he said. “We’re going to have a stabilization force, we’re going to have a funding mechanism for rebuilding humanitarian aid … and this Palestinian technocratic committee that can restore government services.”

Looking ahead, Waltz said the administration wants a narrower, more mission-driven U.N. focused on security, conflict resolution and economic development.
“I see … a much more focused U.N. that we have taken back to the basics of promoting peace and security around the world,” he said.
He also called for greater private sector involvement and less reliance on traditional aid structures. “This old model of NGOs and agencies going to governments and just saying, ‘More, more, more’ — it isn’t sustainable,” he said. “If we’re driving environments in developing countries that welcome American businesses … we break that dependence on development aid and everyone benefits.”

Ultimately, Waltz framed his role as executing foreign policy vision. “I’m a vessel for the president’s vision,” he said. “From my perspective, at the end of his administration, he looks at a U.N. that is leading in driving countries toward peaceful conclusions to conflicts around the world and asking for his help. That’s a much better dynamic than the president having to do it all and saying, ‘Where is the U.N. in these conflicts?’ And so we’re looking to very much flip that on its head, and we have a plan to do it.”
