US Withdraws from Dozens of International Organizations
World
US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order withdrawing the United States from 66 international organizations deemed no longer aligned with American interests.
According to the White House, 31 of the organizations are part of the UN system. The administration argues that their activities run counter to US national interests, security, economic prosperity, or sovereignty. The order requires all federal agencies to terminate participation and funding.
The White House stated that the move aims to end taxpayer support for organizations promoting globalist agendas or operating inefficiently. The decision affects bodies such as the UN Population Fund, the International Trade Centre, and several climate and labor-related agencies.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the review of international organizations involving the United States would continue.
Since returning to office, President Trump has also signed orders to withdraw the US from the World Health Organization, the Paris Climate Agreement, the UN Human Rights Council, UNRWA, and UNESCO, with the latter withdrawal set to take effect on December 31, 2026.
