Texas Republican Rep. Ronny Jackson introduced a bill Wednesday which, if signed into law, would move the headquarters of the United Nations out of New York City.

“This bill sends a clear message: America is done propping up a city that rejects our values while claiming to represent our nation on the world stage,” Jackson said in a statement to The Daily Signal. “Under President [Donald] Trump, strength and security are back, and when the U.N. gathers in America, they should see a city that reflects that strength, not the chaos and weakness we see in New York today.”

In November, New York City elected self-identified Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani as its mayor.

The bill would direct the Secretary of State to formulate a plan to move the United Nation’s headquarters from New York City, where it has resided since construction was completed in 1952.

Specifically, the secretary would seek to negotiate a new headquarters with the United Nations and submit a list of relocation options to the House Foreign Affairs and Senate Foreign Relations Committees.

Jackson, a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee, has represented the Texas panhandle area since 2021.
