US EditionUN says the US has ‘legal obligation’ to fund agencies after Trump withdraws from several
The Trump administration cited inefficiency and conflicting agendas for exiting 66 international groups, including 31 United Nations bodies, aiming to prioritize American interests and save taxpayer funds.
- President Donald Trump signed a memorandum on Wednesday authorizing the United States to withdraw from 66 international organizations, directing agencies to implement the removals immediately.
- The White House justified the move by saying the institutions are `redundant, mismanaged, unnecessary, wasteful` and threaten U.S. sovereignty and economic strength.
- Among the organizations listed are the Global Forum on Terrorism, the Partnership for Atlantic Cooperation, the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance, many UN agencies, commissions and advisory panels focused on climate, migration, and labor, plus cultural bodies like the Alliance of Civilizations.
- Withdrawing will have immediate diplomatic effects, including excluding the United States from UNFCCC climate talks and risking strained ties with allies prioritizing climate action, while the White House said it will save taxpayer money and refocus on America First priorities.
- This action follows earlier January 2025 withdrawals from the Paris Agreement and World Health Organization; officials linked it to restructuring, with the full 66-item list to be published via the federal notice process.
