Turner offers to cover costs for 18 developing nations
Turner proposes to pay 34 million dollars in costs that would otherwise be shouldered by 18 developing countries, a move diplomats say sealed the deal. A diplomat called Friday’s accord a defeat for developing nations and a victory for the United States, with Ambassador Richard Holbrooke noting Turner's influence. The fusion of Turner’s pledge and the UN Foundation’s grants, built on a 1997 gift, shapes population program support across the UN. Calls to Turner’s spokesman were not returned.
