About the bill
It’s headquartered in the U.S., but is it time for America leave the U.N.? Some Republicans think so.
Context and what the bill does
The United Nations was created in 1945 in the aftermath of World War II, as a means of trying to establish greater cooperation among countries. The institution is headquartered in the U.S., in New York City.
Yet the U.S. contributes about 22 percent of the U.N. operating budget, and some Republicans say its good intentions have been subverted by a globalist mission that runs contrary to America’s ostensible values.
The American Sovereignty Restoration Act would remove all U.S. involvement from the U.N. The bill was introduced in January 2017 by Rep. Mike Rogers (R-AL3), and numbered H.R. 193.
