U.S. withholds $65 million in funding to UN Palestinian refugee agency

The United States has announced it's withholding over half of its
funding to the United Nations relief agency for Palestinians.

This comes days after Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said he
wouldn't accept any peace plan put forward by the United States.

The announcement came as the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres was
laying out his priorities for the year ahead.

William Denselow reports from UN headquarters in New York.
