President Donald Trump has signed a memorandum directing the United States to withdraw from 66 international organizations.
The White House justified the move by stating that these entities no longer serve American interests.
The list affected includes 35 independent organizations and 31 agencies operating under the United Nations umbrella.
This drastic step aligns with Trump’s skepticism towards global institutions and his “America First” agenda.
The withdrawal marks a significant shift in US foreign policy and is expected to have major financial and operational implications for the targeted organizations. Critics warn it could diminish US influence on the global stage.
