The major force for peace in the world today is not the United Nations (UN), it is President Donald Trump. In his four ½ years as President, he has accomplished more to end wars and save lives than the organization that is supposedly “the world’s best hope for peace.”
In his first term, President Trump negotiated the Abraham Accords, which established diplomatic relations between Israel and four Arab nations: Bahrain, Morocco, Sudan, and the United Arab Emirates. He also negotiated an “economic normalization deal” between Serbia and Kosovo, two hostile nations.
In his second term, the President has been a peace dynamo, ending many brewing international conflicts. The list includes Rwanda and Congo, India and Pakistan, Cambodia, and Thailand, and, most recently, Armenia and Azerbaijan. With his decisive military action against the nuclear capabilities of Iran, Trump negotiated a ceasefire to their “Twelve Day War” with Israel.
These conflicts were solved by Trump, not the UN, an organization with the primary mission of maintaining “international peace and security.” Unfortunately, the UN is mostly known for corruption, anti-Semitism, and pursuing woke agendas such as climate change and diversity.
This disastrous agenda prompted the United States to officially withdraw from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in July. According to State Department Spokesperson Tammy Bruce, the decision was made due to UNESCO’s “divisive social and cultural causes,” such as their “outsized focus” on the “UN’s Sustainable Development Goals,” and their “globalist, ideological agenda for international development.” Bruce claimed that these goals were “at odds with our America First foreign policy.”
Not surprisingly, UNESCO endorsed membership for the “State of Palestine,” which “is highly problematic, contrary to U.S. policy, and contributed to the proliferation of anti-Israel rhetoric within the organization,” said Bruce.
UN representatives do not just spew “anti-Israel rhetoric,” they are also engaged in violence against Israelis. Several officials with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) were fired after being accused of participating in the Hamas terror attack against Israel on October 7, 2023, which was “the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust.” It led the United States to withdraw funding from the organization.
As noted by Australian journalist Josh Feldman, the UN is “morally bankrupt” and has suffered from “years of institutional decay and corruption.” For example, Feldman cited the case of Emma Reilly, a UN Human Rights Officer, who complained that the names of “Uyghur and other Chinese dissidents,” who were scheduled to address the UN Human Rights Council, were divulged to the communist government of China, leading to government reprisals against their families still living there.
For condemning the UN’s “complicity in genocide,” Reilly was a victim of a Swiss police raid of her home and was eventually fired. Feldman wrote that the UN “must be seen clearly, not as the intergovernmental organization dedicated to peace as it was intended to be, but a bastion of corruption and immorality.”
With such a shameful history, the United States should demand that the UN exit their headquarters in New York City and withdraw all funding. Since their 1945 founding, the United States has been the UN’s largest contributor. Today, the United States funds approximately 25% of the overall budget of the UN, a total of $13 billion per year.
American taxpayers should not be required to fund an organization that is so dishonest, ineffective and woke. If the money is not returned to the American taxpayers, there are a multitude of other projects that are more worthy of the $13 billion investment than the UN.
The funds could be used for productive diplomatic or economic development projects to foster peace or to continue to rebuild our military to establish “peace through strength.”
While the UN continues to focus on a disturbing agenda, President Trump is doing yeoman’s work to establish a more peaceful world. In addition to the significant peace agreements he has achieved, Trump is committed to ending the war in Ukraine. On Friday, he will be attending a high stakes meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska.
Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff have been involved in numerous discussions with Russian and Ukrainian officials over the past few months to end the war.
These diplomatic moves stand in stark contrast to the utter ineffectiveness of Trump’s predecessor, President Joe Biden, and the UN.
Trump is also working on a plan to end the war in Gaza and free the remaining 50 hostages. On Saturday, he sent Witkoff to meet with Qatari Prime Minister Abdulrahman al-Thani in Spain. The goal will be to “present a comprehensive true-hostage deal proposal to Israel and Hamas within the next two weeks.”
This meeting happened just days after Israel’s cabinet approved a plan by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to “temporarily take control of all of Gaza.”
Due to President Trump’s amazing diplomatic achievements, he has received numerous nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize. U.S. Representative Claudia Tenney (R-NY) nominated President Trump for the award in 2024 “for his groundbreaking efforts to foster peace and cooperation between Israel, Bahrain, Morocco, Sudan, and the United Arab Emirates through the Abraham Accords.”
On June 24, 2025, the day after President Trump announced a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, U.S. Representative Buddy Carter (R-GA) nominated him. Carter wrote that Trump “took bold action to ultimately champion peace through strength and facilitate a ceasefire framework that brought hostilities to a halt.”
Along with the two GOP members of Congress, the leaders of five nations, Cambodia, Pakistan, Israel, Armenia and Azerbaijan, nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.
As the President Ilham Aliyev of Azerbaijan said at the White House ceremony on Friday, his country was at war with Armenia for “more than three decades.” He called the agreement “historic” and said it was the “tangible result of President Trump’s leadership.”
Aliyev added that other than Trump “no one could have achieved” the agreement, certainly not the UN.
