I have no problem with that.
It’s a great start! Now get our military out of Syria.
>>Get the UN out of the USA:
Move that sh*t to Geneva, Paris or Stockholm.
GET THEM OUT.
Absolutely 100% in agreement. I view the UN just as I do illegals and ragheads. GET THEM THE HELL OUT OF OUR COUNTRY AND DO IT NOW !! !!
“Anyone who actually read the article and not ONLY the title would realize that this was not a reduction of $500 million in what the US contributes to the UN.”
From what I’ve read, the US contributes 28% of the UN’s peacekeeping budget, so by my back-of-an-envelope math I reckon a $500m cut in that budget means we’d be giving $140m less.
It’s still a good saving but yeah, only part of this budget cut is US money, not all $500m.
LOL! I doubt that too many pampered globalists lurk on Free Republic, but if some high official in the Trump administration made such a proposal, I can only imagine with glee . . .
I never thought I’d live to see this.
It’s a helluva thing.
Thank you, Mr. President.
“Too bad we can’t reclaim the billion $ Obama gave to the green whatever group.”
Because they’ve embezzled it already?
Here is a better listing of all contributions. We have withheld amounts at various times previously.

The UN ought to be shipped overseas; Belgium, the Azores, I don’t care, just get it off US soil.
Trump is wrong about one thing. He said I would get tired of winning. Not happening.
How great it would be if this could be made an issue right on the floor of one of the UN sessions - name names, number, amounts.....I suppose there is some dumb rule that members cannot be embarrassed.
I vote rifle range, and concealed carry training facility....
More winning, just an ultra-winning week all around
That statue is an abomination. With all the Progs tearing down our historical statues: I say that is a statue worth tearing down and destroying.
Not seeing this reported anywhere else. Just months old stories that the funding might / should be pulled

“Every year, the United States delivers $8 billion to the international body.”
So, we’re still sending them $7.5 billion. Make it $0 and I’ll be impressed.
A greater withdrawal from the UN??? Hell, JUST WITHDRAW all together and get it done!!! Get the US out of the stinking UN and the stinking UN out of America. Send the damned thing to France, Belgium, Sweden, Germany, Iraq (Babylon), Iran, Saudi Arabia, China, Timbuctoo, or wherever. Just get it GONE!!!
They’re not into that anymore. Too great a loss. I think the UN building should be imploded and a building built for AMERICA. Maybe a truly conservative media center.
Billions have been missing in that war. Reports are anywhere from 10 to 45.
