Trump Orders U.S. Exit From 66 International and U.N. Bodies
Agencies are instructed to implement withdrawals under Executive Order 14199 to the extent permitted by law.
Overview
- The order covers 35 non‑U.N. organizations and 31 U.N. entities, with targets including the IPCC, the U.N. climate convention, and U.N. Women.
- The White House said the organizations were selected because they operate contrary to the national interests of the United States.
- Departments are directed to take immediate steps to withdraw and to cease participation or funding for listed U.N. entities where legally possible, invoking EO 14199.
- O Antagonista published a detailed list of the organizations, while G1 reported the White House had not posted a complete public list at the time of its update.
- The move continues President Trump’s pattern of selective engagement with multilateral institutions, following earlier actions involving WHO, UNRWA, and UNESCO.
