Trump Withdraws US from 66 International Organizations
President Trump has decided to pull the United States out of 66 international organizations.
These include both non-UN and UN groups.
The White House says these organizations don't align with U.S. interests.
They believe the money spent on these groups could be better used elsewhere.
Experts are worried that leaving these groups might make it harder for the U.S. to work with other countries.
They also think it shows less support for global health and human rights.
The U.S. has already stopped funding some of these groups in the past.
President Trump signed a proclamation to withdraw the U.S. from 35 non-UN and 31 UN organizations.
The White House claims these organizations promote agendas that conflict with U.S. sovereignty and economic strength.
The move aims to end American taxpayer funding and involvement in these entities.
Experts warn that this could reduce U.S. influence and hinder global cooperation on health and human rights.
Previous actions include withdrawing from UNESCO, the WHO, and the Paris Climate Agreement.
