Rep. Jackson Introduces Bill to Remove UN Headquarters from New York

WASHINGTON — Today, Congressman Ronny Jackson (TX-13) introduced a bill to implement a strategy to relocate the headquarters of the United Nations. This legislation directs the Secretary of State to develop a strategy to relocate the UN Headquarters to a city that upholds President Trump’s standard of national security, economic responsibility, and the principles of American strength.

“New York City has embraced radical, anti-American policies that make its streets unsafe, drive-up costs, and undermine the values this nation stands for, and it is no longer the place to showcase America’s greatest attributes to the world,” said Rep. Ronny Jackson. “Under President Trump, American strength is back on full display, and when we host the United Nations, it must be in a city that reflects our security, prosperity, and exceptionalism.”

Cosponsors include Representatives Jim Baird (IN-04) and Darrell Issa (CA-48).
