President Trump announced that the U.S. is withdrawing from 66 international organizations that have contrary interests to the country.
Trump on Wednesday signed a memo that states Secretary of State Marco Rubio wrote a report on “all international intergovernmental organizations of which the United States is a member and provides any type of funding or other support, and all conventions and treaties to which the United States is a party, to determine which organizations, conventions, and treaties are contrary to the interests of the United States.”
According to Newsweek, which lists all 66 organizations individually, “The list spans non-U.N. entities—such as the 24/7 Carbon-Free Energy Compact, Colombo Plan Council, Global Counterterrorism Forum, and the International Renewable Energy Agency—and 31 U.N.-related bodies, including the Department of Economic and Social Affairs, U.N. Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women, and the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change.
