United States’ importance in the world and what would happen if it left the
United Nations.
United Nations.
The now elected president of the united states, Donald Trump, has considered to
withdrawal the U.S from the united Nations.This organization is conformed by 193 states and
countries which rely on the participation of the U.S. Concerned that such withdrawal could affect
economies worldwide including U.S itself.Not only affecting the economy , but breaking treaties
such as the American free trade,It would reverse decades of diplomacy and international
cohesion. It could face counter-actions from hostile countries. All this is due to the ignorant
thoughts the president , Donald trump shared via twitter saying “The UN has such great
potential but right now it is just a club for people to get together, talk and have a good time.”
Being Italy one of the 193 countries that constitute the organization, is as concerned as
any others. The United States is funding 22 percent of the annual organization’s costs, it is by
far the biggest contributor on the UN budget. Its withdrawal may affect the whole world's
economy.
Italy is a steadfast and active transatlantic partner ,The U.S.-Italy partnership is one of
the strongest, as Italy is a leader in peacekeeping and military operations around the world. Italy
has also worked closely with the United States and others in combating drug trafficking, human
trafficking, and terrorism. Over the past two years, Italy has been an early and active partner in
the fights against ISIL and Ebola..
January 30, 2017- “What Donald Trump is doing, affects us all”: Italy’s politicians speak
out against travel ban. US President Trump signed an executive order, banning people from
Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Sudan and Yemen from entering the country for 90 days
regardless of their US visa status or permanent residency.The move has inspired protest across
America, with thousands of demonstrators protesting outside the airports where dozens were
detained.
European Parliament president Antonio Tajani, said: "I want to confirm [the Italian government's]
attitude of closeness, of solidarity with the overwhelming majority of people of the Islamic faith
who live in our country and who reject terrorism". later added Gentiloni after the ban was
announced, He had tweeted a statement seen as a condemnation of Trump's travel ban, saying:
"Italy is anchored to its values. Open society, plural identity, no discrimination. These are the
pillars of Europe.”
Laura Boldrini, the president of the chamber of deputies in Italy later added: "What the new
president Trump is deciding for the United States affects us all because the executive orders, in
addition to undermining the basis of international legal principles, lead to general chaos and a
heightened risk of dangerous retaliation," Boldrini added, urging the EU and all member states
to speak out "with a strong and determined voice”.
The country's economy today suffers from structural and non-structural problems, Italy’s
economy is sinking , as their public debt increases annually , the US withdrawal from the united
nations might aswell help the economy sink completely. Italy is the world’s ninth biggest
economy. Its economic structure relies mainly on services and manufacturing. On 2015 The
United States aid Italy with $63,862 broken down into: health, peace and security, Department
of defense , department of health and human services. But now the help may stop thanks to the
now elected President of the United States, Donald Trump, putting Italy in an awkward position.
Italians may really need the U.S. In fact, to make it possible to create a larger economic space between the two sides of the Atlantic, the U.S. would need first to support Europeans to find a
path for the solution to their sovereign debt crisis.
A lot of countries are holding grudges against Donald Trump for his racist way of
referring to people, discriminating, and doing literally whatever he wants, Italy is one of many
countries, but without anyone to stop him, what can we do?. Having such a powerful country
against Italy could be worse, It might as well be more convenient to need to keep a good
relation with the country.
