Undermining the UN is not a new US policy

The United Nations General Assembly begins today in New York, featuring the last speech from Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who has led the UN for ten years. Under his leadership, the UN has faced repeated attacks and is now in a precarious financial situation. The Trump administration's decision to withdraw the US from several UN agencies and cease all payments has exacerbated this crisis, reflecting a long-standing US policy towards the organization.
