U.S. Orders Exit From 66 International Organizations After Trump Signs Executive Order

A State Department statement described the groups as redundant, mismanaged, wasteful, out of step with U.S. interests.

US-Präsident Donald Trump hält wenig von den Vereinten Nationen und zieht die USA zurück

Overview

  • The executive order directs U.S. withdrawal from 66 international organizations, agencies and commissions following a government review.
  • Officials said the reviewed institutions are poorly run and unnecessary, and accused them of promoting a "woke agenda" that conflicts with national sovereignty.
  • Targets include the United Nations Population Fund and bodies focused on climate and labor rights, extending earlier pullbacks from WHO, UNRWA, the UN Human Rights Council and UNESCO.
  • The announcement came shortly after President Trump posted plans on Truth Social to seek $1.5 trillion in U.S. defense spending for 2027, citing unsettled and dangerous times.
  • Some departures may require formal notifications, treaty processes or funding actions, and the administration has not yet detailed implementation steps or international responses.
