Look up the history of the UN building. They anticipate shutting the whole thing down for three years.
It was built in the 1950s and parts of it are falling apart while everybody argues over who's going to pick up the tab to fix it. Estimated cost to repair? $1.8 BILLION.
Everybody seems to assume that the U.S. will pay for it all...eventually.

If I had any influence in the matter, the United States would not be putting up a dime.
What a good excuse to shut down that operation.
