Washington DC - MAGA Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has thrown her support behind a bill Republican lawmakers are pushing to withdraw the US from the United Nations.

On Friday, Representative Chip Roy of Texas introduced HR 1498, which seeks to "terminate membership by the United States in the United Nations."

The move comes after President Donald Trump signed an executive order eliminating US participation in the UN Human Rights Council and contributions to the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA).

The resolution has been cosponsored by a number of MAGA Republicans so far, including Representative Mike Lee of Utah and Greene, who is currently working closely with the Trump administration as the head of a subcommittee for the newly created Department of Government Efficiency.

Republican lawmakers have long sought to cut funding to the UN.

Roy introduced an identical bill in 2023 also cosponsored by Greene, who has called for years to "defund the UN."

In a press release regarding his latest effort, Roy argued the UN "has enjoyed American tax money while often undermining our interests, attacking our allies, and bolstering our adversaries."

"Despite all of the money and the attention, this corrupt globalist organization has for decades, failed to prevent wars, genocides, human rights violations, and even pandemics," Roy wrote, adding, "No sane country would stand for this."

According to its website, the UN is "the one place on Earth where all the world's nations can gather together, discuss common problems, and find shared solutions that benefit all of humanity."

There are currently 193 members states within the UN, with the US being a permanent member since the organization was founded in 1945.

For more than 70 years, the US has been the UN's largest donor. In 2022, the US contributed $18.1 billion, which accounted for one-third of the organization's budget.
