WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is preparing executive orders that would clear the way to drastically reduce the United States’ role in the United Nations and other international organizations, as well as begin a process to review and potentially abrogate certain forms of multilateral treaties, officials said.

The first of the two draft orders, titled “Auditing and Reducing U.S. Funding of International Organizations” and obtained by The New York Times, calls for terminating funding for any United Nations agency or other international body that meets any one of several criteria.

“Trump Prepares To Drastically Reduce USA Involvement in UN”

A good start. But I won’t be happy until we are out of the UN and we have run them out of this country, and then some developer converts the UN building into condos.

They should offer Sen. McCain some ambassadorship somewhere.

Senator McCain...ambassador to Raqqah, Syria.

I don’t know about shuttered but one prominent person, Sarah Palin I believe it was, suggested that the UN be turned into some real nice condos. I think President Trump has some folks in Manhattan that would know hoe to make that happen!

His [Ted Cruz's] Goldman Sachs wife loved him for those, though.

And now, just imagine how bummed she must be, seeing that five or six of her colleagues at Goldman are part of the Trump Administration.

Your gratuitous ad hominem failed.

Sean Spicer made a huge deal about not accepting anything that he said was NOT a White House Document.

He took one lady reporter sitting next to John Roberts, Fox, to serious task over it, and when she tried to continue, he intentionally turned away from her and called on someone else.

Makes sense. You don’t comment on so-called reports floating around that didn’t originate in the White House.

The draft orders, which are only a few pages each, leave several unanswered questions. For example, it is unclear whether they call for cutting 40 percent of United States contributions to each international agency separately, or to the overall federal funding budget.

The answer is ... yes.

Don’t just scale back Mr President, pull out entirely! Declare the UN a criminal entity and kick their asses out of American soil!

We should use the UN building as a shelter for homeless vets, and all money donated to the UN dedicated to their welfare
