According to Fox News, a Republican senator in the United States recently proposed a bill demanding that the United States completely withdraw from the United Nations. In response to this bill, the United Nations said on the 21st that it would not comment on a bill that has not yet been passed.


Dujarric, the spokesman for UN Secretary-General Guterres, answered reporters' questions at a regular press conference on the 21st.

Fox News reported that Mike Lee, a Republican Senator from Utah, introduced a bill on the 20th local time to completely withdraw the United States from the United Nations in 2025. The bill aims to terminate the U.S. membership in the United Nations and its affiliated organizations, and stop providing financial support to these organizations. In addition, the bill also stipulates that the United States must not participate in peace negotiations led by the United Nations, and prohibits the executive branch from reaching any membership agreement with the United Nations and its affiliated organizations without the approval of the Senate.

Mike Lee also accused that the United Nations has become "a place to attack the United States and its allies", which is also inconsistent with the Trump administration's "America First" foreign policy, so the United States should withdraw as soon as possible.

In response to this, Dujarric, the spokesman for UN Secretary-General Guterres, responded to reporters' questions at a regular press conference on the 21st, saying: As you know, the United Nations will not comment on the bills currently being discussed by various legislative bodies.

Since Trump took office as President of the United States on January 20, he has successively withdrawn from the World Health Organization, the Paris Agreement aimed at responding to climate change, and the United Nations Human Rights Council. Many members of the European Parliament have criticized the United States for its successive withdrawal from international organizations, which has added instability to the world and is an "irresponsible" act.
