WASHINGTON vans old skool grigie , Sept. 21 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Donald Trumpplans to reduce U.S. contributions to the United Nations in a bidto push his "America first" policy, a move experts said mayundermine Washington's influence around the world.
Trump said Tuesday at the General Debate of 72nd Session of theUN General Assembly that "no member state shoulders adisproportionate share of the burden," three months afterWashington cut its UN peacekeeping budget by over half a billionU.S. dollars.
Indeed, Trump resents the amount of financial support that theUnited States provides, believing the United Nations does not havemuch of a positive impact on the world.
Moreover scarpe old skool pro , many of Trump's supporters have disdain for the UnitedNations, saying it is an organization that has nothing to do withthem, even as U.S. taxpayers foot 20 percent of the UN's bills.
Some experts said Trump's stance on the issue, part of his"America first" agenda, could lead to a decreased U.S. role in theworld and less U.S. influence worldwide.
"The United States is strong economically and militarily vans old skool pro nere , butruns the risk of losing international influence if it pushes'America First' over all other considerations," BrookingsInstitution Senior Fellow Darrell West told Xinhua.
"That stance will embolden other nations to promote their ownnarrow interests and the result will be a world that is far morevolatile and chaotic," West said.
"The ability of the United States to shape foreign affairs willbe limited and it will be hard to get other countries to follow theAmerican lead," West said.
Some experts believe that Trump's slashing UN commitments couldencourage other countries to pick up the slack.
"Reducing payments to the United Nations would encourage othernations to step forward and fill that void," West said.
"If other countries play a stronger role at the United Nations vans old skool bordeaux alte ,it would give them a higher ability to shape international affairs.They would be able to influence peacekeeping efforts, economicpolicy, and diplomatic initiatives. All those things affect howevents unfold around the world," West said.
Meanwhile, some other experts believe that Trump does not wantto withdraw from the world vans old skool bianche alte , but rather does not want to use U.S.tax dollars on an organization he believes has an inefficientbureaucracy.
"President Trump wants the funds America provides the UN to beused effectively and as intended, not mismanaged or used forfrivolous purposes," Brett D. Schaefer, an expert on internationalregulatory affairs at the Heritage Foundation, told Xinhua.
The United States is the largest contributor to the UnitedNations vans old skool bianche pelle , and foots around 20 percent of the organization's bills.The Trump administration in recent months cut over half a billionU.S. dollars from UN peacekeeping efforts.
