The Trump Administration Is Promoting Its Anti-Trans Agenda Globally at the United Nations

During a July forum about a document on sustainable development, the U.S. delegate, Shrier, asked for a vote on several paragraphs about gender, climate change and various forms of discrimination. In his objections, he cited two paragraphs that he argued advanced “this radical abortion agenda through the terms ‘sexual and reproductive health’ and ‘reproductive rights.’”
The final vote on whether to retain those paragraphs was 141 to 2, with only the U.S. and Ethiopia voting no. (Several countries abstained.)
When the results lit up the screen, the chamber broke into thunderous applause.

The headline made me wonder, how are other UN representatives responding? Glad it's good so far.
