To a point, but as a Congress critter he has for several years submitted leg. that:

- Relinquishing all U.S. participation in the United Nations and any subsidiary groups and agreements.

— Removing the U.N. headquarters out of New York City and revoking all of its governmental privileges.

— Ending U.S. financial support for U.N. operational and “peacekeeping” missions.

I’m sure, in his budget, there would be no room for funding the UN.

Relinquishing all U.S. participation in the United Nations and any subsidiary groups and agreements.

The Executive does not have the unilateral authority to do this.

Removing the U.N. headquarters out of New York City and revoking all of its governmental privileges.

Neither the President nor the Senate can do the first: The UN's headquarters in NYC is private land owned by the UN.

Only the Senate can do the latter.

Ending U.S. financial support for U.N. operational and “peacekeeping” missions.

The President has more discretion here, but he could not unilaterally zero these activities out.

I’m sure, in his budget, there would be no room for funding the UN.

His budget would be heavily, heavily, heavily amended or it would never pass the House.
