The tweet highlights U.N. Secretary General António Guterres's speech on Tuesday at an event in New York.

“It’s very clear that governments are not everything," the U.N. chief said. "On the other hand, we are doing our best, in dialogue with the administration and with Congress, to make the U.S. understand that funding the development aid, funding foreign policy in general, funding organizations like the U.N., is also in the interest of the American people."

Trump tweeted on Wednesday he will make his decision about the Paris climate accords “over the next few days.”
