President Trump signed an executive order withdrawing the U.S. from both the UN Human Rights Council and UNRWA, the Palestinian refugee agency, citing anti-American bias. During the announcement, an aide emphasized actions by the UN that prompted this decision. Trump criticized the UN’s operation and lack of support for resolving global conflicts despite its potential. He also indicated that the U.S. will review its funding and involvement in various UN entities, reflecting concerns over fairness in international funding.
Next up, in light of numerous actions taken by a number of bodies of the United Nations which exhibited deep anti-American bias, we have an executive order prepared for your attention that would withdraw the United States from the U.N. Human Rights Council.
Trump expressed that the UN has tremendous potential but criticized its effectiveness, stating, "It's not living up to that potential right now... it's not being well run, to be honest, and not doing the job."
