Trump’s Recent Withdrawals from International Organizations

This week, President Trump took significant actions that could be seen as empowering globalists and climate change advocates. On Wednesday, he released a presidential memorandum that formally excluded the United States from over 60 international groups, aligning with his broader aim to prioritize American interests.

In a presidential order from February of last year, Trump tasked the Secretary of State with assessing whether U.S. involvement in various international organizations was beneficial. Following a review, he concluded that continuing membership or support for 66 organizations was not in the U.S. interest.

The organizations he withdrew from include 35 that are not part of the UN and 31 agencies affiliated with the UN.

Among those organizations are significant bodies such as the United Nations Economic and Social Council, the International Law Commission, and the United Nations Organization for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women.

The U.S. withdrawal also includes the Permanent Forum for People of African Descent, which has been criticized by some officials as “racist.” Tommy Piggott, the chief spokesperson for the State Department, remarked, “America will no longer lend its trust to racist organizations.”

This forum has called for “reparations for slavery,” a controversial agenda that the Trump administration has openly opposed. It has argued that the forum’s initiatives violate the Fourteenth Amendment, particularly regarding social policies based on victimhood.

Interestingly, despite an executive order hinting at a review, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) was not included in this list of organizations from which the U.S. withdrew.

In addition to these moves, Trump and the Treasury Department ordered an immediate pullout from the Green Climate Fund, signaling a broader strategy to reshape America’s role in global environmental funding.
