The Trump administration has announced plans to withdraw the United States from dozens of international organizations, including several United Nations–affiliated bodies, marking a further retreat from global cooperation.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed an executive order suspending U.S. participation and funding for 66 international organizations, agencies, and commissions following a comprehensive review of America’s involvement in multilateral institutions, according to a White House statement.

Many of the affected bodies are linked to the United Nations and focus on issues such as climate change, labor, migration, and social inclusion — areas the administration has criticized as promoting diversity-driven or “woke” agendas. Non-U.N. organizations impacted by the decision include the Partnership for Atlantic Cooperation, the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance, and the Global Counterterrorism Forum.

Explaining the move, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the administration found the organizations to be “redundant, mismanaged, unnecessary, wasteful, poorly run, or captured by interests advancing agendas contrary to U.S. sovereignty, freedoms, and prosperity.”

The decision comes amid a broader shift in U.S. foreign policy that has unsettled both allies and rivals, including recent assertive actions abroad and renewed interest in acquiring Greenland.

The administration had earlier suspended support for agencies such as the World Health Organization, UNRWA, the U.N. Human Rights Council, and UNESCO, opting instead for a selective, case-by-case approach to funding international institutions.

Commenting on the development, Daniel Forti, head of U.N. affairs at the International Crisis Group, said the move reflects a hardened stance on multilateral engagement.

“What we’re seeing is the crystallization of a ‘my way or the highway’ approach to international cooperation,” Forti said. “Washington wants engagement strictly on its own terms.”
