The Foreign Ministry said it would deliver a message of observers to the French-based agency to take over its representation. UNESCO chief Irina Bokova, said he was suspended but was not surprised. Since his campaign, Trump was issuing a statement for the formation of the United Nations and also complaining that the United States is the one who contributes to more money, so he remembers that he will reduce his contribution. In 2011 the United States removed its budget from Unesco against its process of giving Palestinian full membership. The US provides 22 percent of the UN's total budget and 28 percent for UN peacekeeping operations. Unesco is in the process of appointing a new leader with the former ministers of Qatar and France, Hamad bin Abdulaziz al-Kawari and Audrey Azoulay in the forefront of the competition who will take over Bokova.
