First on the fox: Republican lawmakers launched an attempt to withdraw the United States from the United Nations, amid concern that the International Human and Human Rights Organization fails to enhance American interests and consensus with the president Donald Trump “America first” agenda.
Senator Mike Lee, R-UTAH, submitted a legislation on Thursday called a separation completely from the 2025 United Nations Fashion Law, which will end the American membership at the United Nations and its affiliated bodies, and the financing of these groups.

Representative Chip Roy, R-TEXAS, is preparing to enter the procedure at home on Friday, claiming that the United Nations and its bodies do not provide the interests of the Americans.

“The United Nations has moved to a platform for tyrants and a place to attack America and its allies,” Lee told Fox News Digital. “We must stop paying its price. Since President Trump has revolutionized our foreign policy through the situation of America first, we must withdraw from this fake organization and give priority to the real alliances that keep our country safe and prosperous.”
The United States provides more funding than any other country to the United Nations, which donated more than $ 18 billion in 2022, according to the US Foreign Policy Tanks, the Council of Foreign Relations. This constitutes nearly a third of the United Nations collective budget.
“The United Nations has enjoyed US tax funds while often undermined our interests, attacking our allies and strengthening our opponents,” Roy said in a statement on Thursday to Fox News Digital.
“What did the United Nations achieve?” Roy said. “Despite all the money and attention, this corrupt global organization, for decades, has failed to prevent wars, genocide, human rights violations and even epidemics.”

Specifically, Roy referred to United Nations groups such as The United Nations Relief and Works of Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA), which helps the Palestinian refugees and their offspring.
However, the organization was scrutinized after finding an investigation by the United Nations that UNRWA's employees may have participated in the Palestinian Hamas Group's attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. The United States suspended temporary funding for UNRWA in January 2024 in response to the report.
“No sane country will stand for this,” Roy said in his statement.

The legislation also determines that the United States may not participate in peace negotiations with the United Nations, and prevent the executive branch from concluding any membership agreements with the United Nations or its branches without the approval of the Senate.

The United Nations also received a reaction from the Democrats amid the Israel -Hamas conflict. For example, 11 democrats joined their Republican counterparts in sending a letter to United Nations Secretary -General Antonio Guterres in October 2024, claiming that the United Nations had failed to remain neutral and “permanently transferred to Israel.”
The legislators indicated a decision that the United Nations General Assembly has passed that Israel is returning all the lands and origins that have been settled in the Palestinian territories since 1967.
The lawmakers wrote: “We will not accept the continuous hostility of the United Nations of our ally Israel,” the lawmakers wrote.
The American people remain divided into their views of the United Nations, for example, and more than 70 % of Democrats and independents with liberal tendencies have maintained a positive vision for the United Nations, compared to 34 % of Republicans and independents with Republican tendencies, according to a center surveyed.
