Since America has the strongest military in the world other country should pay a tax to be in the UN.
@9TJWX62Libertarian10mos10MO
We are the UN. We are in one of the voting permanent seat in U.N. Let’s not weaken our global power.
@9MBXXK21yr1Y
Yes, but the actions of the UN should be reduced because current actions don’t make much of a difference except spend money
@9M4X7CTRepublican1yr1Y
Yes, and change the rules so that what percent of the budget you pay for is what percent of power you have in it.
@9LLP6NC1yr1Y
We should lead the way in reforming the UN into an organization which actually solves global issues.
@9HRD7WFRepublican2yrs2Y
Yes, but don't give so much money in Foreign Aid to other countries, unless if it is used for water, food, medical supplies for parts of the world such as Africa, which isn't necessarily in war, but needs the help due to geographical issues.
@9GWQ76H2yrs2Y
Yes, but decrease our financial involvement to at max 10% or only give as much as other countries do.
@9RGR5JJ12mos12MO
Yes, but we should be setting the tone and agenda. It shouldn’t be a place where China, Iran, and Russia get to subvert the ideals of a world with Universal Human Rights, Peace, and Dignity.
@9DPSHJJ2yrs2Y
If the other countries pay more and do more more and we pay less and do less yes. We can donour part but i dont support world pokicing.

Every country should pay their own share less involvement
@2B92Y72Republican3yrs3Y
Yes, but reform the U.N. to its pro-democracy roots in conflicts such as the nationality of Taiwan and Chinese imperialism.
@8Z2PRQ33yrs3Y
Stop paying the most, but stay in
@8XWY4JY4yrs4Y
Yes, but lessen monetary contributions from US and demand increased funding from other members
@8XQ87S5Republican4yrs4Y
If other countries don't pay their fair share...toss them and charge tariffs on them.
@8X8JXX94yrs4Y
Yes, to monitor what other nations are doing and enforce equal pay into programs and lower the dollar amount Americans are spending worldwide.
@8WLHLTTIndependent4yrs4Y
Yes, but ensure every country pays their fair share.
@8WG8WPY4yrs4Y
Yes, and use the U.N. peacekeeping forces to protect O U R interests
@8WBL2BG4yrs4Y
Be more aggressive in promoting American interests and countering terrorist and communist members. If we can't or won't do that, get out and tell the UN to get out of the US.
@8W2KHDG4yrs4Y
The inited nations is useless and should ve abolished.
@8VZFTY94yrs4Y

@8SR6GL54yrs4Y
Yes if it wont work for our benefit.

Yes, but the UN must stop be so anti America
@8SQCNHB4yrs4Y
Yes, but hold other accountable and request nations to increase their gdp and dues payments.
@8SN3KXL4yrs4Y
Yes, but reduce the amount of money contributed to be more equal with our counterparts
@8S7PGJQ4yrs4Y
The United States is the U.N
@8S5W9WB4yrs4Y
Yes, but all countries should fund the UN equally. The US should vastly decrease its funding of the UN.
@8RZWYGY4yrs4Y
Yes, but certain conditions must be meat. If any of those conditions are broken, then the U.S should leave.
@8RVM8L74yrs4Y
No, the U.N. has in recent years proven to be a threat to the safety of Americans.
@8RV6ZSWRepublican4yrs4Y
We aren’t currently in the UN
@8RT7YMK4yrs4Y
Yes, but only as a means to aid in our own national security interests.
@8RPNBQF4yrs4Y
get rid of the current UN and replace it with something that works
@8Q8NMK64yrs4Y
Yes, we have a veto power that we retain as long as we remain a member, it is necessary we retain this vote.
@8LXWBW9Republican5yrs5Y
I think a new group should replace the U.N. and have an initiative to get every single country to join.
@9CLFR2K2yrs2Y
Yes but the other countries need to pay they’re fair share
@9C2RR8TRepublican2yrs2Y
We should put preasure on them to serve America's interests, if the UN does not comply, then we can consider leaving.
@9BFSG842yrs2Y
Yes, but I don't agree or support the UN but if we leave it will give other countries and foreign powers a helping hand.
@9BBPG5D2yrs2Y
to let them know who we are
@99KCTF32yrs2Y
Ideally yes, but I don’t know if that’s currently a possibility
