As outrage over the United Nations (https://www.thenewamerican.com/world-news/africa/item/27377-why-is-the-un-protecting-child-rapists) continues to grow, legislation to restore American sovereignty (https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/204) by withdrawing from the scandal-plagued UN was introduced in the Congress this month. In addition to getting the U.S. government out of the UN and evicting the global outfit’s headquarters from U.S. soil, the bill would end American involvement in the full panoply of UN agreements and agencies. It would also prohibit putting of U.S. troops under UN command.
The legislation has been introduced in Congress for decades. However, the current president’s publicly expressed hostility to globalism (https://www.thenewamerican.com/world-news/north-america/item/30174-trump-to-un-we-reject-the-ideology-of-globalism)and his oft-stated support for U.S. sovereignty make the issue especially salient right now. In Congress and in the administration, as well as among everyday Americans, anti-UN sentiment is surging. Even some Democrats are fed up with the UN’s criticism of Israel. (https://www.thenewamerican.com/world-news/europe/item/24952-congress-planning-to-defund-un-as-critics-seek-full-withdrawal) Advocates of the measure are urging Americans to contact their representatives, senators, and the White House in support.
The American Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2019 (H.R. 204) was introduced by Congressman Mike Rogers (R-Ala.) right as the new Congress was getting started. “One of my first priorities in this new Congress was to make sure this bill was reintroduced,” said (https://mikerogers.house.gov/press-release/rogers-protecting-our-sovereignty-priority) Rogers, who serves as the ranking member of the House Committee on Homeland Security. “The United Nations is a disaster and our country bankrolls over 20 percent of its annual budget.”
