The United Nations is reportedly anxious about the potential consequences of a second Donald Trump presidency, according to a leaked conversation with a high-ranking official at the global organisation.
In a hidden camera recording released on Thursday, Jorge Paoletti, an associate legal officer at the UN Office of Legal Affairs in New York, expressed grave concerns about the UN’s future under another Trump administration. Speaking to an undercover reporter from podcaster Steven Crowder’s “Mug Club,” Paoletti revealed the deep apprehension among his colleagues.
“I’m not sure the United Nations is going to survive a second term from Donald Trump,” Paoletti said in the recording. “I mean, we are terrified. They’re terrified.
Nobody wants Trump … because the purpose of Donald Trump is to end the international institutions that somehow level the playing field. He wants America first.”
Paoletti elaborated on his fears, citing Trump’s “America First” policies as a direct challenge to the UN’s globalist goals. He explained that the UN seeks to foster a sense of global citizenship, which he believes is at odds with Trump’s vision for American supremacy.
“One of the objectives of the UN is to create an identity of a global citizen, someone who shares an identity, a political identity, with everybody on this planet,” Paoletti said. “[This idea] is a threat to the absolute power of the United States because [Americans] don’t want an institution over the US telling the US what to do.”
Paoletti also highlighted the United States’ disproportionate influence within the UN, noting that the US contributes 22% of the organisation’s budget.
He expressed concern that under Trump’s leadership, the US might refuse to comply with UN directives.
“For example, say that the United Nations creates an environmental agency. And that environmental agencies say that countries can only reach a certain pollution level.
How do you think all these crazy MAGA people are going to react to that? [Trump will say,] ‘Who are you globalists to tell me, the United States, what I can do?’” Paoletti remarked.
The leaked conversation has sparked debate over the potential impact of a second Trump term on international relations and the future of global governance.
As Trump remains a prominent figure in American politics, the concerns expressed by UN officials highlight the growing tension between nationalist and globalist ideologies on the world stage.
