Supporters of the measure claim the international organization undermines American interests. A group of Republican lawmakers has reignited efforts to withdraw the US from the United Nations, claiming that the organization betrays American interests and misallocates taxpayer funds. The US is a founding member of the organization and holds a permanent seat in the Security Council, the body tasked with conflict resolution and peacekeeping. It also hosts the UN headquarters in New York. US Senator Mike Lee introduced a bill on Thursday calling for ties with the UN to be cut, with co-sponsorship from Senators Marsha Blackburn and Rick Scott. A corresponding bill was also presented in the House by Representatives Mike Rogers and Chip Roy.
