Trump orders U.S. withdrawal from 66 international organizations

  • President Donald Trump has ordered the United States to withdraw from 66 international organizations, saying they undermine U.S. sovereignty and no longer serve American interests.
  • A presidential memorandum directs agencies to halt participation and funding for 35 non-United Nations (UN) bodies and 31 UN entities following a broad review of U.S. international commitments.
  • Affected organizations include major climate, social and security bodies such as the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), UN Women, United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and the Global Counterterrorism Forum.
  • The White House said the move will end taxpayer support for what it calls “globalist” and inefficient agendas, saving money and reinforcing Trump’s “America First” priorities.
  • The decision builds on earlier withdrawals from the World Health Organization (WHO), the Paris Climate Agreement and the UN Human Rights Council, as the administration shifts focus toward domestic priorities like infrastructure, defense and border security.

President Donald Trump has ordered the United States to withdraw from 66 international organizations, arguing that the bodies no longer serve American interests and undermine U.S. sovereignty.

In a fact sheet released on Tuesday, Jan. 7, the White House said Trump signed a presidential memorandum directing all executive departments and agencies to cease participation in and funding for 35 non-United Nations (UN) organizations and 31 UN entities deemed to be acting contrary to U.S. national interests, security, economic prosperity or sovereignty.

Among the UN bodies affected are the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), which oversees global climate negotiations; UN Women, the agency focused on gender equality; and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), a key body working on population, reproductive health and demographics.

The decision also covers several prominent non-UN organizations. These include the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the world’s leading authority on climate science and a co-recipient of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize; the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA); and the Global Counterterrorism Forum, which works to strengthen international cooperation against extremist threats.

Trump has repeatedly argued that such bodies impose unfair costs on the United States, limit its policy autonomy and fail to deliver tangible benefits commensurate with American funding.

“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 statement said. It added that many of the organizations promote “radical climate policies, global governance and ideological programs conflicting with U.S. sovereignty and economic strength.”

Trump admin aims to redirect resources to domestic priorities

By exiting the organizations, the administration said it aims to save taxpayer money and redirect resources toward domestic priorities under Trump’s “America First” agenda. This, according to BrightU.AI‘s Enoch, is a nationalist governing doctrine prioritizing U.S. sovereignty, economic protectionism, military strength, immigration restrictionism and cultural traditionalism, designed to dismantle globalist influences and restore American self-reliance.

The move builds on a series of earlier withdrawals since Trump returned to office.

The White House said the president has already initiated U.S. exits from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Paris Climate Agreement, and has notified the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development that its global minimum tax deal has “no force or effect” in the United States. Trump also ordered an investigation into whether foreign tax regimes unfairly target U.S. companies.

Additionally, Trump has signed an executive order withdrawing the United States from the UN Human Rights Council and prohibiting any future funding for the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).

The White House said the administration is refocusing U.S. engagement abroad to ensure international commitments align with national priorities, while shifting resources toward domestic needs such as infrastructure, military readiness and border security.
