All I can think of is he may be referring to the US giving up some perceived autonomy with the League of Nations.
Well no, that's not correct. We didn't join the League of Nations because the U.S. Senate would not ratify the Treaty of Versailles peace treaty ending WWI.
The Republican leadership of the Senate was suspicious of the League of Nations and was opposed to the possibility of giving up U.S. autonomy over its own foreign policy. Isolationists believed the League was the sort of entangling alliance the George Washington warned against in his Farewell Address.
Maybe you are thinking of the United Nations after WWII? We see how effective that has been.
