Withdrawing the United States From and Ending Funding to Certain United Nations Organizations and Reviewing United States Support to All International Organizations

In a significant move, President Donald Trump issued an executive order on February 4, 2025, withdrawing the United States from certain United Nations organizations, including the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) and the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), while also halting their funding. The order criticizes these organizations for actions perceived as counter to U.S. interests and mandates a review of all international organizations and treaties to assess their alignment with American priorities. This decision could strain diplomatic relations and impact international cooperation, while also potentially facing legal and political challenges domestically and abroad.
