If the USA is 22 percent of the UN budget is $1.2 billion over 2 years that means the UN operates on about $5.4 billion every two years or $2.52 billion per year. That is incredible. For the scope of the United Nation's ability, including supporting peacekeepers, the cost is incredibly low.
Nicky Haley is a horrible US Mission Ambassador. Trump can't simply cut the UN membership on a whim. The USA has a place at the UN and it's financial contribution of it's membership is determined by the United Nation through it's rules.

Every member of the United Nations fall under the same rules. I said Trump is scum and he is. The United Nations came together to bring tighter sanctions against North Korea and what do they get in return? The other countries receive disloyalty and demeaning of the United Nation's mission. Either Trump wants these measures achieved through the UN Security Council or he doesn't. But, to demean and ridicule those who stood with him and turn around and insult the United Nations by removing THE MEMBERSHIP DUES; he is empowering North Korea to continue it's path.

The U.S. government (click here) says it has negotiated a significant cut in the United Nations budget.
The U.S. Mission to the United Nations said on Sunday that the U.N.'s 2018-2019 budget would be slashed by over $285 million. The mission said reductions would also be made to the U.N.'s management and support functions.
The announcement didn't make clear the entire amount of the budget or specify what effect the cut would have on the U.S. contribution.
U.S. ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley said that the "inefficiency and overspending" of the organization is well-known, and she would not let "the generosity of the American people be taken advantage of."
This is another reason to impeach Donald Trump. The Republicans are putting the country at risk to continue to allow Trump his rampage from the White House. He should have been impeached as soon as he was inaugurated because of the violation of the emoluments clause. Republicans are selling the country to the highest bidder and not governing. Trump should have been gone a long time ago and it didn't take Mueller to achieve it.
GOT THAT?
The Republicans are allowing Trump to stay in the Oval Office to sign their corrupt legislation. That is the truth. The Republicans do not have loyalty to the USA.
