Donald Trump decides US will withdraw from UNESCO

The United States has had a complex relationship with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) since its inception. The organization, which aims to promote international collaboration in education, science, culture, and communication, has faced criticism from various U.S. administrations over its policies and decisions. The decision for the U.S. to withdraw from UNESCO was influenced by concerns regarding the organization's perceived bias against Israel and its stance on various cultural and educational issues. The review of U.S. membership in UNESCO was initiated to assess the effectiveness and alignment of the organization with U.S. interests. Following this review, the decision was made to withdraw, marking a significant shift in U.S. engagement with international cultural and educational initiatives. This withdrawal reflects broader trends in U.S. foreign policy, emphasizing a more unilateral approach to international relations and a reevaluation of multilateral commitments.
