The United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution last week designating an International Day of Hope.
President Donald Trump’s U.S. contingent at the UN voted against the measure which promoted “universal peace, … practicing tolerance and living together in peace as good neighbors.”
The U.S. was the only country to vote against designating July 12 as the International Day of Hope.
The measure passed with 161 countries voting for, 4 abstentions (India, Türkiye, Peru and Paraguay) and one In opposition — the U.S.
The Day of Hope resolution also recognized "the need for a more inclusive, equitable and balanced approach to economic growth that promotes sustainable development, poverty eradication, happiness and hope for all peoples."
A U.S. representative to the UN said the measure “contains references to diversity, equity and inclusion that conflict with U.S. policies that seek to eliminate all forms of discrimination and create equal opportunities for all.”
The U.S. also questioned the need for various international days.
Trump’s U.S. mission to the UN was also the only country opposed to resolutions supporting education initiatives that promote democracy and the well-being of independent judiciaries.
The U.S. did not like language on disinformation in the former measure.

The UN should try International Day of Fear.
Trump might go for that.
I never would’ve guessed I’d miss the days when conservatives did evil things but at least wrapped themselves in a “we care about people” veneer. Now not only do they enjoy being evil but the base is so depraved they have to be *performatively* evil too.
This is just saturday morning cartoon villain with cereal level of evil.
Probably not even that. Dr Doofenschmirtz wouldn’t pull a de-hope-inator. And even if he did, it would just be confined to the Tri-state
It’s mourning in America.
America just being cartoon villains at this point
This establishment is pure evil, end of story. They’re blatantly and transparently evil and half of the country is rooting them on. We live in an evil country, folks.
We are in an international 4 years of cope
The entire world is too woke for dump and his MAGA gremlins.
