US President Donald Trump has signed a proclamation withdrawing the United States from 35 non-United Nations organizations and 31 UN agencies that act against US national interests, reports Reuters.
The outlet notes that the White House did not list the organizations but stated that they promote radical climate policies, global governance, and ideological programs that undermine US sovereignty and economic power.
“These withdrawals will end American taxpayer funding and involvement in entities that advance globalist agendas over U.S. priorities, or that address important issues inefficiently or ineffectively such that U.S. taxpayer dollars are best allocated in other ways to support the relevant missions,” the White House said.
Reuters notes that since the beginning of his second term, Trump has sought to cut US funding for the United Nations, end US cooperation with the UN Human Rights Council, continue the suspension of funding to the UN Palestinian relief agency (UNRWA), and withdraw from the UN cultural agency UNESCO.
He also announced plans to exit the World Health Organization and the Paris Climate Agreement.
Trump’s stance on international organizations
As RBC-Ukraine reported, at the end of December 2025, Donald Trump accused the United Nations of inaction on global conflicts, including the war in Ukraine.
On Truth Social, he wrote that the UN has provided very little help in resolving various global conflicts, including the disaster currently unfolding between Russia and Ukraine.
Earlier, on January 20, 2025, Trump also stated that he would withdraw the US from the Paris Climate Agreement. This statement reflected his skeptical view of global warming, which he considers a hoax.
The move aligned with the president’s plans to free American oil and gas drillers from regulations so they could maximize production.
During his first presidential term, Donald Trump had already withdrawn the US from the Paris Climate Agreement - a process that took several years at the time.
