"Donald Trump on Wednesday signed an executive order suspending US support for 66 organizations, agencies and commissions following his instructions for his administration to review participation in and funding for all international organizations, including those affiliated with the UN, according to a White House statement on social media. Most of the targets are UN-related agencies, commissions and advisory panels that focus on climate, labor and other issues that the Trump administration has categorized as catering to diversity and woke initiatives."
"The Trump administration has found these institutions to be redundant in their scope, mismanaged, unnecessary, wasteful, poorly run, captured by the interests of actors advancing their own agendas contrary to our own, or a threat to our nation's sovereignty, freedoms, and general prosperity, the state department said in a statement. Trump's decision to withdraw from organizations that foster cooperation among nations to address global challenges comes as his administration has launched military efforts or issued threats that have rattled allies and adversaries alike,"
The Trump administration signed an executive order suspending US support for 66 international organizations after reviewing participation and funding for all international organizations, including UN-affiliated bodies. Most targeted entities are UN-related agencies, commissions, and advisory panels focused on climate, labor, and related issues classified by the administration as catering to diversity and 'woke' initiatives. The State Department described the institutions as redundant, mismanaged, unnecessary, wasteful, poorly run, captured by actors advancing agendas contrary to US interests, or threats to sovereignty and prosperity. The administration previously suspended support for WHO, UNRWA, the UN Human Rights Council, and UNESCO while adopting an a-la-carte approach to UN dues.
