Mike Waltz, the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, testifies before Congress during a hearing on the Trump administration’s proposed budget and funding priorities for the United Nations. The hearing turned heated when Representative Ted Lieu sharply criticised Waltz over his remarks on U.S. troops stationed in Iran, telling him, “Shame on you for not even knowing the basic facts. You’re the U.S. Ambassador!” Waltz fired back, saying, “Silence!”
Lawmakers questioned Waltz on U.S. foreign policy, UN funding, humanitarian assistance, and the administration’s efforts to reform international institutions. The exchange highlighted growing tensions over America’s role at the UN and its approach to the Middle East under President Donald Trump.
