Linda Thomas-Greenfield, US ambassador to the UN, has called for countering the Chinese harmful influence in the UN. "They exert enormous influence in the United Nations, and it's malign ... influence that promotes an authoritarian approach to multilateralism," she said. Democrat leader Gregory Meeks said "United States shied away from multilateral engagement" in the last 4 years and it damaged Washington's international standing.
