'The United Nations has devolved into a platform for tyrants,' said Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah​


Republican lawmakers have launched an effort to withdraw the U.S. from the United Nations, amid concern that the international humanitarian and human rights organization fails to promote American interests and align with President Donald Trump’s "America First" agenda.


Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, introduced legislation Thursday called the Disengaging Entirely From the United Nations Debacle Act of 2025, which would terminate U.S. membership in the U.N. and its affiliated bodies, and funding to those groups. Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., is co-sponsoring the measure in the upper chamber.

Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, is poised to introduce the measure in the House Friday, claiming that the U.N. and its bodies don’t advance the interests of Americans.

Doesn't the world know that the only country that matters is America? I'm going to buy twelve more flags just to show the globalists who they're messing with.

That's a good reason to get out of it

I know I for one never partake in any organization, group, or community where I'm not the center of attention and the most important.

Leaving the UN is actually counter to America First. Right now the United States can easily influence the direction of the UN through the use of our veto. If we were to leave we would lose that, and since we use it heavily, the UN would no longer act in our favor, or the favor of Israel.

In the favor of Israel? They've condemned Israel more than North Korea, more than any other country

Doesn't matter what the general assembly does. Those resolutions mean nothing. Security Council resolutions on the other hand are binding for all member states and are enforceable. Since 1989 the US has vetoed 12 security council resolutions. 10 of those involved Israel.

He's following what his predecessors did and somehow Trump is wrong?
