United States sovereignty has been eroded by every President and every Congress after Ronald Reagan. President Trump’s defunding of the U.N. will be a good start to restoring American sovereignty and prestige around the world.

Quote:Donald Trump is preparing executive orders that would dramatically reduce US funding of the United Nations, as well as other international organisations that do not meet certain criteria.

The executive order plans to repeal certain multilateral treaties too, officials told the New York Times, which would likely include treaties on climate change.

The first order, called “Auditing and Reducing US Funding of International Organisations”, will take away funding for any United Nations agency or international body that meets criteria, including: organisations that give full membership to the Palestinian Authority or Palestine Liberation Organisation; support abortion and any group that circumvents sanctions on Iran or North Korea.

Funding will be taken away from any organisation that is “controlled or substantially influenced by any state that sponsors terrorism” or is behind the persecution of marginalised groups or systematic violation of human rights.

The order has singled out peacekeeping, the International Criminal Court and the United Nations Population Fund. The UNPFA targets violence against women, fights to keeps childbirth and abortion, where it is legal, safe, and was a key presence in safeguarding women in Haiti following Hurricane Matthew.

The order demands decreasing US funding towards international organisations by at least 40 per cent. Mr Trump has included the International Criminal Court here, yet the US currently pays nothing to the ICC.

If this order is signed, it would essentially decimate a global peacekeeping operation which is present in 16 countries.

Earlier reports revealed that Congress was planning legislation to stop funding the UN after it voted to condemn Israeli settlement building in the Occupied Territories.

President Trump dismissed the UN last December as a “club” for people to “have a good time”.

Russia supports countries that support terrorism.

FDR could be rolling over in his grave if he knew what the UN have been doing in recent years. It has been a joke when China and Russia are the major violators of human rights.

All this winning is making me tired.

What are the chances that the U.N. decides to move it's headquarters to another country?

I think Trump is the Harlem Globetrotters and Fit/Tom/ Mach and other snowflakes are the Washington Generals (the one's that lose EVERY time)!!!!

BTW - I'm not even a little bit close to being tired of winning.

Almost zero. I wouldn't be surprised that even with a drastic reduction in funding, the US will still be footing a large part of the bill.

In my opinion though, the UN belongs in Switzerland.

Nah. Aynor, SC. In an unairconditioned complex of Quonset huts and single wide trailers.

He's already recovered more than enough money to pay for the wall and the devaluation of the Peso has only just begun.

Send the UN to Mexico
