Germany’s Globalist President Says US “Destroying World Order”

The EU’s increasingly unpopular, globalist political class is crashing out after President Donald Trump ordered the US to withdraw from a wide array of international organizations tied to climate policy, gender ideology, and what his administration has labeled “woke global governance.”

The decision has triggered an unusually emotional response from EU leaders who appear to view American disengagement as an existential threat to their failed globalist project.

Germany’s Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier accused the United States of “destroying the world order,” language typically reserved for adversarial powers rather than NATO allies. Speaking at a symposium marking his 70th birthday, Steinmeier warned that the global system was descending into lawlessness.

Steinmeier claims the US has committed a “breach of values” comparable to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Without naming Trump directly in some remarks, he nevertheless made clear that the Trump administration’s assertive foreign policy and rejection of multilateral, liberal-globalism represented, in his view, a historic rupture.

Steinmeier went further, painting a bleak picture of a world ruled by “unscrupulous” powers seizing territory and resources. Critics noted the irony of Germany lecturing others on restraint while quietly calling for a massive military buildup of its own.
Despite holding a largely ceremonial office, Steinmeier’s comments carry weight within Germany and the EU. He used the occasion to urge Berlin to eliminate military “deficits” and ensure that Germany is taken seriously as a hard-power actor in an increasingly competitive world.

Earlier this week, the Trump administration confirmed that the US will no longer participate in or fund multiple UN-affiliated bodies, including the UN Population Fund, UN Women, international climate negotiation frameworks, and various democracy-promotion initiatives.

Officials framed the move—its withdrawal from the 66 international—as a recalibration of American foreign policy away from left-liberal ideological activism and toward national interest.

“More to Come” – HHS Deputy Secretary Hints Something Big Is Coming as Questions Swirl Around Somali UN Ambassador’s Ties to Ohio Health Agency Convicted of Medicaid Fraud

The Trump administration’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is signaling that major revelations are imminent involving Somalia’s sitting ambassador to the United Nations, a man who now presides over the UN Security Council while allegedly tied to an Ohio healthcare company convicted of Medicaid fraud.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported on troubling new evidence showing that Abukar Dahir Osman, Somalia’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, once worked deep inside Ohio’s Medicaid bureaucracy and later ran — or was formally associated with — an Ohio home healthcare company now appearing on a federal fraud exclusion list.

Osman, often referred to by the nickname “Baale,” has served as Somalia’s UN ambassador since 2017. As of this month, he holds one of the most powerful rotating posts in global diplomacy: President of the UN Security Council.

In that role, Osman:

  • Oversees Security Council meetings
  • Sets the Council’s agenda
  • Manages resolutions and presidential statements
  • Speaks for the A3+ bloc (African nations plus Caribbean representation) on major global conflicts, including Afghanistan and Yemen

But long before wielding global authority in New York, Osman built his career inside Ohio’s taxpayer-funded welfare and Medicaid system.

UN Security Council Presidency Draws Scrutiny Over Ambassador’s Past Ties to Sanctioned Medicaid Provider

The rotating presidency of the United Nations Security Council may change every month, but the standards represented by those who hold the position should not.

Leadership of the world’s most powerful international security body carries symbolic weight and sends a message about the values the United Nations claims to uphold: accountability, transparency, and respect for the rule of law.

That is why recent scrutiny surrounding the background of the current presiding ambassador from Somalia, Abukar Dahir Osman, deserves serious attention.

Public reporting indicates that before entering diplomatic service, the official was associated with the leadership of a U.S.-based healthcare company funded by Medicaid that later faced serious regulatory and compliance problems, including exclusion from federal healthcare programs. While there is no verified public record of a criminal conviction against the individual, the documented issues tied to the company itself are not disputed.

UN Security Council to Hold Emergency Meeting at Colombia’s Request with Russia and China’s Support – Maduro Also Expected in Court Monday

The United Nations Security Council plans to hold an emergency meeting at the request of Colombia, Russia, and China to discuss the United States’ operation in Venezuela, which ended in the capture of Nicolas Maduro. 

Colombia reportedly requested the meeting, with support from Russia and China, the BBC reported.

“The attendees have not yet been confirmed, but may include the UN Secretary-General António Guterres,” per the BBC.

The US military executed strikes and a ground invasion to capture Maduro and his wife on Saturday at approximately 2 am local time, and they were taken prisoner on board the USS Iwo Jima.

Maduro was indicted in the Southern District of New York on charges of Narco-Terrorism Conspiracy, Cocaine Importation Conspiracy, Possession of Machineguns and Destructive Devices, and Conspiracy to Possess Machineguns and Destructive Devices against the United States, the Gateway Pundit reported.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump earlier told reporters that Colombia’s Gustavo Petro needs to “watch his ass” because of the cocaine factories in his country, seemingly warning him of similar operations in Colombia.

Trump has also floated the idea of striking Colombian cocaine factories and launching strikes into Mexico to stop the cartels, saying, “I would be proud to do it, personally.”

Somalia’s UN Ambassador, Who Previously Oversaw Adult Medicaid, Also Served as CEO at a Company Reportedly Placed on a Federal Fraud Exclusion List and Banned from Receiving Medicaid Funds

While Ohio taxpayers are being told to accept daycare fraud as merely “the cost of doing business,” a stunning new report has surfaced that raises serious questions about who has been operating inside the state’s taxpayer-funded welfare ecosystem and how far those connections now extend onto the global stage.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, RINO Ohio Governor Mike DeWine’s office has brushed off mounting concerns over potential large-scale fraud in taxpayer-funded daycare centers—particularly in Columbus, home to the second-largest Somali population in the United States—as merely “the cost of doing business,” even after two independent journalists uncovered disturbing evidence of potential ghost daycare operations in Columbus, Ohio.

Speaking to the Columbus Dispatch, DeWine spokesman Dan Tierney openly acknowledged that daycare fraud has been “known to the state for decades,” suggesting that outrage from taxpayers is simply the product of naivety.

“If people are out there who could not contemplate that people were trying to defraud the public through day care centers, I understand it’s new to them … but it’s been known to the state for decades,” Tierney said. “So therefore, we have robust anti-fraud measures to try and stop this, this is something that is unfortunately the cost of doing business.”

A new bombshell report now reveals that Somalia’s sitting ambassador to the United Nations once worked inside Ohio’s Medicaid bureaucracy, and later ran or represented a healthcare company reportedly placed on a federal fraud exclusion list.

Abukar Dahir Osman, often referred to by the nickname “Baale,” currently serves as Somalia’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, a post he has held since 2017.

As of this month, Osman holds one of the most powerful rotating positions in global diplomacy: President of the UN Security Council.

In that role, he:

  • Oversees Security Council meetings
  • Sets the Council’s agenda
  • Manages resolutions and presidential statements
  • Speaks for the A3+ bloc (African nations plus Caribbean representation) on issues like Afghanistan and Yemen

But before assuming global authority in New York, Osman spent years embedded inside Ohio’s public welfare system.

Osman relocated to the United States in the late 1980s and built his career in Ohio’s taxpayer-funded social services apparatus.

From 1999 to 2012, he worked at the Franklin County Department of Job and Family Services, serving as:

  • Case Manager
  • Social Program Specialist

Osman was also a supervisor for the Medicaid office in Franklin County, Ohio, from 2007 to 2012.

Mr. Osman also founded Beacon Educational Services, according to his profile on the UN.  He served as a consultant for the organization from 2007 to 2010.

The most alarming revelation involves Progressive Health Care Services Inc., an Ohio-based home healthcare company linked to Osman.

Ethics Questions Swirl Around Somalia’s UN Ambassador Tied To Ohio Healthcare Company

Somalia’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Abukar Dahir Osman, is facing growing scrutiny over his connections to the Ohio healthcare company Progressive Health Care Services Inc. This comes as federal investigations into suspected Somali-linked welfare fraud, stretching from Minnesota to Washington, Ohio, and Maine, continue to intensify, with allegations that some entities (daycares, healthcare, or transportation service companies) were merely front operations to extract taxpayer funds.

The story surrounding Osman is certainly a strange one, with the news and analysis outlet Horn Diplomat publishing a report titled “Ethics Questions Surround Somalia’s UN Envoy, as U.S. Healthcare Fraud Scandals Heighten Scrutiny.”

Here’s the report:

Public corporate filings and professional records have raised questions about transparency and potential conflicts of interest involving Abukar Dahir Osman, Somalia’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations.

The scrutiny comes as Somalia prepares to assume the rotating presidency of the United Nations Security Council on January 1, 2026, a role that places the country at the center of global diplomatic decision-making on peace, security and sanctions.

Ohio state corporate records show that Osman was listed as the statutory agent for Progressive Health Care Services Inc, a Cincinnati-based home healthcare company, while simultaneously serving as Somalia’s top diplomat at the United Nations.

State Dept Revamps U.N. Funding: ‘More Lives Saved for Fewer Taxpayers Dollars’

The State Department and the United Nations jointly announced on Monday that they have agreed to a new framework for processing American funding for the global body, streamlining funds directly to countries in need and potentially saving billions in needless bureaucracy.

Given expected savings for American taxpayers of “nearly $1.9 billion dollars” compared to the way the United States sent money to the U.N. in the past, the State Department announced an extra $2 billion funding commitment to be offered directly to countries in need that the administration of President Donald Trump trusts to spend appropriately.

The move follows a prodigious effort by Secretary of State Marco Rubio to repair the federal government’s broken humanitarian aid system, including the shutdown of most programs under the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). The Trump administration has also withdrawn America from some of the United Nations’ most corrupt and dysfunctional bodies, such as the World Health Organization (W.H.O.), UNESCO, and the Human Rights Council. The administration has also distanced the United States from the U.N. Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) operating in Gaza, whose members were implicated in the October 7, 2023 invasion of Israel by the jihadist terror organization Hamas.

Despite these moves, the United States remains the largest funder of the U.N. generally and the host country for its main headquarters. In a statement on Monday, the State Department emphasized that America will retain its position as a humanitarian works leader and be better able to serve the needy through the new funding mechanism agreed to in the memorandum of understanding signed with the U.N. on Monday.

The agreement, the State Department explained, “establishes a new paradigm whereby the United States will replace the current unaccountable morass of projectized grants with a set of consolidated and flexible pooled fund vehicles at the country or crisis level.” This paradigm allows for money to be disbursed through “comprehensive country-level policy agreements,” cutting out expenditures related to the involvement of U.N. bureaucrats. It also allows the State Department to better “ensure alignment with American interests and priorities” for the spending involved, according to the statement.

“This means more lives saved for fewer taxpayer dollars,” the department asserted.

“Because of significantly enhanced efficiency and hyper-prioritization on life-saving impacts, this new model is also expected to save U.S. taxpayers nearly $1.9 billion dollars,” the State Department explained. As a result, the United States can pledge “an initial $2 billion anchor commitment to fund life-saving assistance activities in dozens of countries.”

“The U.N.’s web of overlapping humanitarian mandates have long suffered from ideological creep, maddening duplication and bureaucratic inefficiencies, and poor coordination,” the State Department condemned in its release.

U.S. to commit $2 billion to U.N. humanitarian efforts, as foreign aid cuts continue

The U.S. will contribute $2 billion to U.N. humanitarian aid in 2026, the State Department said Monday, marking the latest cuts to foreign aid by the Trump administration.

The $2 billion commitment will be placed in a pooled fund that can be directed to nations or regions in crisis. Bangladesh, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Haiti, Syria and Ukraine will reportedly be the first nations targeted for humanitarian aid assistance through the fund.

That structure is in line with U.S. demands that the U.N.’s humanitarian aid structure should be consolidated, with funds distributed to individual agencies. The U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, run by former British diplomat Tom Fletcher, began a “humanitarian reset” earlier this year to facilitate the change in structure.

WTF? Failed State Somalia to Assume Presidency of U.N. Security Council in January

The failed state of Somalia is set to assume the presidency of the United Nations Security Council in January.

Despite being a largely ceremonial role, it has nonetheless been hailed by diplomats as a major milestone in the country’s international standing.

For one month, Somalia will be tasked with steering the council’s routine business, including setting meeting agendas, chairing sessions, and overseeing debates on global peace and security.

While the presidency carries no real executive power, it does allow the holder to play host to discussions on some of the world’s most entrenched conflicts.

During its brief stint, Somalia is expected to highlight familiar UN priorities such as peacekeeping operations, counterterrorism initiatives, regional instability, and humanitarian crises linked to war and climate shocks like drought.

Somalia has struggled with instability since the collapse of its central government in 1991, spending decades marked by civil war, weak institutions, and fragmented authority.

The federal government in Mogadishu continues to rely heavily on international assistance, including African Union forces, to combat the al-Qaeda-linked militant group al-Shabaab, which still carries out regular attacks.

Meanwhile, there has been growing scrutiny on America’s Somali population amid increasing evidence that they have been involved in massive social security fraud.

Federal prosecutors in Minnesota recently uncovered industrial-scale fraud targeting state-run, federally funded social programs.
