WASHINGTON. The President of the United States, Donald Trump, has signed a significant decree that will impact the country’s policy in the sphere of international cooperation. According to official information, the new directive calls for the withdrawal of the United States from 66 international organizations and agencies.
The White House stated that the activities of several of these bodies do not align with the national interests, security, or economic well‑being of the country. As a result, Washington considers it necessary to reassess U.S. participation in international institutions.
The official statement also highlights that:
- 31 of the 66 organizations listed are part of the United Nations system,
- the organizations from which the U.S. intends to withdraw operate in various fields — including economics, education, health, security, and social development,
- the new political approach marks a further stage in the country’s foreign policy and international cooperation strategy.
According to the White House, this step is aimed at ensuring that U.S. involvement in international organizations becomes more efficient, more closely aligned with national interests, and subject to more rigorous evaluation.
The decree has generated significant international reaction. Analysts believe that such a move by the United States could influence the future of multilateral cooperation worldwide. Nevertheless, official Washington emphasizes that the decision is part of the country’s broader policy to safeguard its national interests.
