US Considers Withdrawal from UN

Republican lawmakers have introduced a bill proposing the complete withdrawal of the United States from the United Nations (UN) and the termination of its funding, marking a dramatic shift in US foreign policy under President Donald Trump’s administration.

Senator Mike Lee announced the proposal, which also seeks to revoke the UN's diplomatic immunity, terminate its headquarters agreement in New York, and bar the US from rejoining the UN or its agencies without Senate approval.

The bill further prohibits US participation in UN peacekeeping missions.

In a narrow 51-49 Senate vote, Kash Patel was confirmed as the new FBI Director, despite fierce opposition from Democrats and some Republicans.

Patel, a staunch Trump ally, vowed to restore public trust in the agency, which he claims has been politicized in recent years.

Democratic Senator Dick Durbin condemned the appointment, warning that Patel could use the FBI for political revenge, calling his confirmation a threat to national security.

Meanwhile, President Trump hosted a Black History Month celebration at the White House, alongside golf legend Tiger Woods.

Addressing a predominantly Black audience, Trump praised his support among African American voters and teased the possibility of running for a third term, despite constitutional limits.

The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), held near Washington, celebrated Trump's return to the White House, marking a significant shift in Republican strategy.

Vice President J.D. Vance opened the event, boasting that the Trump administration had accomplished more in a month than Biden had in four years.

With radical policy shifts, executive orders, and Republican dominance in both chambers of Congress, the US political landscape is undergoing a historic transformation, signaling a new era of conservative governance.
