Trump looking at reducing, or possibly eliminating, U.S. role in UN

CFP: When it comes to the United States, there’s one thing and one thing only that matters to the United Nations: $3 billion. That’s what we give them every year in funding, which is far more than any other nation on this Earth. It accounts for more than 20 percent of the UN’s total budget, and an organization that lives on salaries, accommodations and travel expenses for its bureaucracy will find itself in a real fix if it’s major funder decides to stop or reduce the checks.

So I’m going to guess that they’re a tad bit nervous today:

The Trump administration is considering actions that would reduce the U.S. commitment to the United Nations and evaluate whether the United States should pull out of multi-national treaties, officials said.

The results could be reduced American funding for the U.N. agencies and withdrawal from treaties like the Paris climate accord reached by the Obama administration, said the two officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because the actions were not completed yet.  MORE

  1. Lazlo: Please Mr. Trump, we’re tired of winning! Make it stop!

  2. How many nations never pay the required dues, if that’s the right term, the USA over pays with an organization that hastes US. Let’s get out of that place. It’s way past it’s pull date.

  3. Sacramento’s mayor vowed to fight and keep the city a sanctuary city as it has been for a long time. A growing number of other cities out here are doing the same.
    I really hope they stick to their guns. When the Federal money stops arriving, a Republican might stand a chance, if the voters get mad enough. Might. If nothing else, I’ll have something else to rub it my liberal. Democrat. freinds’ faces.

  4. I hope Trump does more than “looking at a reduction” of our Billion tax dollars wasted at the UN.

    Obama sold his and our National integrity to the UN and radical islamic countries at the expense of our only pro-democracy ally in the middle east. Israel.

    Withhold all aid to the countries on the UN Security Council who voted to condemn Israel over settlement activity, their National sovereignty and their defense.

  5. I can see the year 2040 headlines now:
    “Barron Trump opens the new TRUMP Casino and Hotel in the newly renovated, but long ago abandoned UN headquarters building after shrewdly negotiating a deal with the bankrupt Rockefeller foundation for the property at pennies on the dollar.

  6. Cut it’s feet off, cut it’s legs off, then
    cut it’s goddamn throat and deport it’s ass to
    North Africa where they focked up an entire
    continent.
    Then turn the building into an illegal welfare
    shithole for de-blasio, and defund new yawk of
    all federal funds.

    Fuck yeah.

  7. why couldn’t the Filthy Mohammedan Savage Mohammed Attah have flown that jet into the fucking UN building instead? I would have enjoyed watching fatcat corrupt diplomat thugs from Third World Shitholes the world over, jumping to their firey splatty deaths.
