President Donald Trump announced plans for the US to withdraw from 66 United Nations and international organizations, including crucial forums for climate change, peace, and democracy, citing conflicting interests. The withdrawal entails ending participation and cutting all funding to these entities, affecting organizations like the IPCC, UNFCCC, and UNFPA. Despite the withdrawal, Trump’s administration has shown a history of influencing international decisions and leveraging power as a permanent member of the UN Security Council, with previous withdrawals from the WHO, Paris climate agreement, and UN human rights council.
