Was President Donald Trump right to cut what the U.S. will pay toward the United Nations’ budget? A roundup of editorials Thursday says he was and that he should do more.

Opinions from the right:

1. Trump gave U.N. what It deserved

Investor's Business Daily: The U.S. is where it should be with the U.N. – on the verge of defunding.

2. Trump gets real about the U.N.

From columnist Star Parker: Why are we paying countries that hate us to disrespect us at the U.N.? We can get that for free.

3. Time to defund the United Nations

From Townhall: Why is the U.S. pumping millions into a body that continually condemns our actions while making excuses for the poor treatment of their own people?
