First on the fox: Republican legislators have initiated an effort to withdraw the US from the United Nations, due to concern that international humanitarian and human rights organization does not align US interests and aligns with the President Donald Trump Agenda “American First”.
Senator Mike Lee, R-Utah, introduced the legislation on Thursday, called the separation completely from the United Nations debacle of the 2025, which would abolish the US membership in the UN and its related bodies and financing these groups. Senator Marsha Blackburn, R-tenn., Spontaneously the measure in the upper chamber.
Tail. Chip Roy, R-Texas, is ready to introduce this measure in the house on Friday, claiming that the UN and his bodies do not improve the interests of Americans.

“The United Nations have moved to the Tirante platform and a place to attack America and their allies,” Lee told Fox News Digital on Thursday. “We should stop paying it. As President Trump revolutionizes our foreign policy by putting America first, we should withdraw from this false organization and give priority to the real federations that keep our country and prosperous.”
Now they provide more funds than any other UN country, donating more than $ 18 billion in 2022, according to the US External Policy Research Center for Foreign Relations. This does this about a third of the entire collective budget of the UN.
“The United Nations enjoyed the US tax, while they often undermine our interests, attacking our allies and strengthening our opponents,” Roy told Fox News Digital on Thursday.
“What did the United Nations achieve?” Said Roy. “Despite all the money and attention, this corrupt globalistic organization has not been able to prevent wars, genocide, human rights and even pandemic breeding, genocide.”

Specifically, Roy pointed to the UN groups like United Nations Aid and Work Agency for Refugees Palestine (UNRWA), which helps Palestinian refugees and their offspring.
However, under the supervision of the UN’s surveillance, the UN investigation found that UNRWA employees may have been involved in the attack by the Palestinian militant group Hamas on Israel on October 7, 2023. Now they temporarily stopped the financing of UNRWA in January 2024. In response to that report.
“No reasonable country would be advocated by that,” Roy said in his statement.

The law also determines that the United States may not participate in peace negotiations with the UN and prohibits the executive authority to enter into any membership agreements with the UN or its branches without the approval of the Senate.

The UN also received a return from Democrats in the midst of the conflict of Israel -Hamas. For example, 11 Democrats were joined by Republican counterparts in sending a letter to the Secretary General of the UN Secretary António Guterres in October 2024, claiming that the UN failed to remain neutral and “definitely occupied the parties against Israel.”
MPs have pointed out the resolution that the United Nations General Assembly has brought to Israel to return all the land and property that has been created in Palestinian territories since 1967.
“We will not accept the UN constant hostility towards our Allied Israel,” the legislators wrote.
The American people remains divided into their UN attitudes, for example, more than 70% of Democrats and independent independent loaded reports reported to a favorable view of the UN, compared to 34% of Republicans and independent independent Republicans, according to the research center of Pew in April 2024.
