The United Nations Population Fund is facing the potential specter of financial mayhem: And its name is Donald J. Trump.
If the former United States president is elected for a second term on Tuesday, the White House is all but certain to cut U.S. funding to the U.N. agency, known as UNFPA, according to experts on women’s health.
The U.N. fund, which provides reproductive health services and education to women and girls in more than 150 countries, has grown accustomed to the Republican budget axe. Every Republican president since Ronald Reagan has halted its funding, while every Democratic president has restored it.
