U.S. Fails to Join Allies in Signing UN Weapons Treaty

[azurnoir]

10. that does not change the fact that the US approved of the UN adopting a measure it refuses to sign

but I find your reasoning here interesting are you sying that the US's representative to the UN acts as a lone wolf-that it does not represent the POTUS and state departments policies and wishes?

the measure got voted down largely by the GOP with of course a few Dems climbing on a board with them, it was in the Senate that this measure was trashed

eta from the article

In the U.S. Senate, a two-thirds majority would be needed for Senate ratification. On March 23, senators voted 53-46 for a symbolic measure opposing U.S. participation in the treaty. Eight Democrats and all 45 Senate Republicans opposed it.
