"There are more signs that the United States is disengaging from the global order established after World War II. President Donald Trump has ordered his administration to pull out of more than 60 agencies, half of them part of the United Nations. Trump argues that being a member of these organisations is contrary to his country's interests. The secretary of state went as far as saying they're useless or wasteful."
"This move has prompted global outrage, with the UN saying its responsibility to deliver' will not waver. So, where does this all leave the multilateral global order?

President Donald Trump ordered the United States to withdraw from more than 60 international agencies, about half of which are United Nations bodies. The administration contends that membership in these organisations conflicts with U.S. national interests, and the secretary of state described several bodies as useless or wasteful. The withdrawals have provoked international criticism, while the United Nations declared that its responsibility to deliver will not waver. The shifts raise fundamental questions about U.S. commitment to the post–World War II multilateral system and have prompted examination by policymakers and experts across political perspectives.
