Executive director of UN World Food Program to step down
Fox News
David Beasley, the executive director of the United Nations World Food Program who helped the organization win a Nobel Peace Prize, has announced plans to step down.
"Serving in this capacity has been the greatest joy and deepest heartache of my life," Beasley said. "Thanks to the generosity of governments and individuals, we have fed so many millions of people. But the reality is we have not been able to feed them all — and the tragedy of extreme hunger in a wealthy world persists."
Beasley was appointed to the U.N. post in 2017 by then-U.S. President Donald Trump, and was recommended for the job by Nikki Haley, another former South Carolina governor. Haley also served as the U.S. ambassador to the U.N. during the Trump administration. Beasley succeeded Ertharin Cousin, an American lawyer and former U.S. ambassador.
