John Bolton: Trump Should Withdraw the U.S. from the U.N.’s System of Int’l Taxation

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
BOLTON: "That is one way to do it. I would propose something I think that will have a greater effect. I would give up the system of international taxation all together, this assessment based on percentage of budget that we ç pay. I would simply have the United States on its own say, we’re going to contribute to the programs we think are effective. We’ll not contribute to the programs we don’t think are effective. If others disagree with us, they could increase their contribution. Now, this is contrary to the practice that has been followed for many years. It could build up our arrearages to the U.N. System. It could cost us a vote in the general assembly. I say it is well worth think. If the United States said we’re not going to play this game anymore it, would have a tsunami-like effect on the U.N. System. I hope that’s one option the Trump Administration would consider. Voluntary contributions would make the U.N. A more effective, more efficient organization. Other countries might actually come to see that."
