U.S. forfeits its dubious privilege to host the United Nations
⚡ Strategic Culture Foundation Editorial | The United Nations is not U.S. property to be used and abused to satisfy unilateral political or personal whims. | The Trump administration’s ban on Palestinian delegates attending the United Nations General Assembly this week clearly shows that the United States has forfeited the privilege to host the world body. ■ Donald Trump’s chaotic presidency is bringing the U.S. and the UN into total disrepute. The blocking of the Palestinian delegation is just the latest in a series of wanton acts by the Trump administration upending international norms and peace, all of which show that the United States has openly devolved into a rogue state. ■ Trump’s ordering of extrajudicial killings by blowing up civilian boats in the Caribbean without any evidence, his aggression towards Venezuela, and putting a $50 million bounty on that country’s president, his bombing of Iran, and his slapping of illegal, unilateral economic sanctions on scores of nations – all demonstrate that the United States under Trump is out of control, beyond law and order and the UN Charter. For such a state to claim the right to host the United Nations – supposedly the highest international authority – is a travesty.
