U.S. Funding of UN Disproportionate

The U.S. and UN flags outside UN Headquarters
"This may come as a shock: It's possible a committee of officials from the Defense, State and Justice departments, as well as the National Security Council, will conduct a review of the disproportionate funding the United States provides to the United Nations and come to the conclusion that American taxpayers should spend less on an organization that is inefficient, corrupt and inimical to American interests...

[A] 'draft' executive order (in other words, an unapproved working document) ... would 'clear the way to drastically reduce the United States' role in the United Nations and other international organizations.'...

Should the president sign the draft order, funding could be terminated to any international agency that contributes to systematic violations of human rights, is controlled by a state that sponsors terrorism, supports activities that circumvent U.S. sanctions against Iran or North Korea, gives full membership to the Palestinian Authority, or funds abortions...

Based on the results of the last election, why should such organizations and activities continue to be funded by Washington?..."
