Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) is the presumptive U.N. ambassador to the United Nations .

In an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal , John Bolton says he hopes Stefanik and Sen. Marco Rubio will do away with a "taxation of America " mechanism.

Bolton says the U.S. has a vote and veto on the vaunted Security Council , it will effectively face zero consequences for doing away with assessed contributions.

He also hopes that Stefanik , Rubio and Trump will redirect funding previously appropriated for the UN to the military budget.
