How The United Nations’ Policies Hurt American Industry (From The National Interest)

May 9, 2017Daniel Gouré, Ph.D.

The United Nation’s system of contracting with private companies for goods and services is badly in need of reform. Take one example: the procurement of air transport services. The UN spends more than $500 million a year on air transportation services. Yet, when it comes to awarding contracts, US firms, the best breed in the world, are virtually aced out. In 2015, the UN spent nearly $585 million on air transport services; U.S. firms won a paltry $9 million of work. Ambassador Haley and Secretary of State Tillerson need to advocate both for UN procurement reform and for world-class U.S. companies that deserve a fair chance to compete on an even playing field. I have written more about this for The National Interest here.
