NAIROBI, Kenya — The US ambassador to the United Nations said Wednesday the UN is partnering with a ‘‘corrupt’’ government in Congo, and she supports a large cut in the world’s largest peacekeeping mission there.

Speaking at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York, Nikki Haley said the UN ‘‘is aiding a government that is inflicting predatory behavior against its own people.’’

On Monday, the bodies of US and Swedish investigators for the UN and a Congolese colleague were found in a region that has seen months of deadly violence between government troops and militias.
