- President Donald Trump ordered the US to withdraw from 66 international organizations, including major UN agencies.
- The withdrawal includes 31 UN-affiliated bodies and 35 non-UN organizations covering climate change, conservation, counterterrorism, and human rights.
- Prominent organizations affected: UNFCCC, UN Women, IPCC, IRENA, and others.
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio cited some institutions working against US interests, labeling many as 'woke.'
- This follows previous US exits from the Paris climate accord, WHO, and UNESCO, along with funding cuts to UN agencies.
- Trump's administration continues to push for fossil fuels, dismissing climate change and renewable energy initiatives.
