Yes, but the US should not be funding the bulk of the United Nations. Each country should be paying their fair share.
@96F4LGWRepublican3yrs3Y
Yes, good movement on bringing countries together and compromises, however all countries are their own and UN should not tell you these are laws or rules you have to follow.
@8ZCXJNVRepublican3yrs3Y
Only if everyone else pulls their weight should we stay
@8XWXVW54yrs4Y
Yes, but only if the other countries are contributing the same.
@8S8LKXP4yrs4Y
Yes, but push for reforms so that authoritarian nations like China and Cuba have less influence over certain issues (i.e. Kicking Cuba and China off of the Human Rights Council)
@8RPFN3C4yrs4Y
It depends if the United Nations are fair
@8H6QHKC5yrs5Y
The U.S. should remain in the United Nations but work to reform it and remove bad actors like China and Russia from positions of power.
@99W9F6R2yrs2Y
Yes, but have the U.S. pay a fair share and same percent as the other countries.
Yes, but the UN must be lead by an independent council.
@8WXPMQ24yrs4Y
I don't really care about what happens
