Trump Withdraws U.S. from UN Human Rights Council and Defunds Key UN Agency

The executive order also includes a review of U.S. funding for UN programs, citing anti-American and anti-Israel bias.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order withdrawing the United States from the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC).
The order also defunds the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), citing its alleged ties to Hamas and anti-Israel activities.
Trump criticized the UN for failing to live up to its potential and described U.S. contributions to the organization as disproportionately high compared to other nations.
The UNHRC has faced bipartisan criticism in the U.S. for allowing countries with poor human rights records to hold seats and for perceived bias against Israel.
This move follows Israel's recent decision to shut down all UNRWA offices and activities within its borders.
