Trump Will Never Leave the UNDonald Trump’s approach to the United Nations during his first term was generally antagonistic, yet not wholly dismissive of the body. In his second term, though, Trump has become an outright antagonist to the institution. Trump also does not want to have the UN leave New York City, his hometown, or the US. Trump realizes, too, that he needs the US to be present in the UN to counter the interests of China and Russia. In any case, whether Trump’s continued involvement in the institution helps or hinders, Trump will be staying in the body for his final two years.
