Trump pulls US out of 'woke' and 'divisive' UNESCO for second time
Briefly

The United States plans to withdraw from UNESCO, effective at the end of the following year, citing the organization's support for 'woke' causes and alignment with a globalist agenda. This decision aligns with the Trump administration's broader 'America-first' foreign policy, emphasizing skepticism towards multilateral organizations. UNESCO head Audrey Azoulay expressed regret over the decision, explaining that it was anticipated and that the organization had prepared for it. Despite the withdrawal, she noted that UNESCO has diversified its funding sources and will continue its work with limited impact from the US departure.
