    January 7, 2026

    President Trump issued a memorandum directing "all executive departments and agencies . . . to take immediate steps to effectuate the withdrawal of the United States from" 66 international organizations that are "contrary to the interests of the United States." The organizations are 31 United Nations entities and 35 non-U.N. organizations, including the Global Forum on Migration and Development.

    The directive follows Executive Order 14199 (Withdrawing the United States from and Ending Funding to Certain United Nations Organizations and Reviewing United States Support to All International Organizations), which terminated U.S. participation in the U.N. Human Rights Council (UNHRC) and directed the Secretary of State to review "all international intergovernmental organizations of which the United States is a member and provides any type of funding or other support, and all conventions and treaties to which the United States is a party, to determine which organizations, conventions, and treaties are contrary to the interests of the United States."
