Blackburn, McCaul introduce bill to counter China, Russia at UN
Fox News
Sen. Marsha Blackburn and Rep. Michael McCaul on Wednesday are set to introduce legislation to counter malign influences, require transparency and promote accountability at U.N.
It would "strengthen" the United States’ role in the U.N. system by requiring the Department of State to promote the hiring of American citizens there, and in other international organizations. The Kremlin has "manipulated the United Nations procurement process to its own benefit," the legislation says, and China has "used its leadership roles within the United Nations to block nongovernmental organizations critical of the PRC from being accredited to the U.N," while its diplomats have "violated U.S. rules."More Related News
