At long last, American taxpayers will save at least some of the money they’ve thrown down the drain on the United Nations.
Yesterday, President Donald Trump withdrew the United States from two worthless subsidiaries of the communist-founded, anti-American organization. He is reviewing its membership in a third.
Those agencies are the UN Human Rights Council; the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO); and the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).
Trump might also target other international organizations.
Trump targeted the agencies because they are anti-American and anti-Israel, his executive order and the companion fact sheet say. He said in the order:
Some of the UN’s agencies and bodies have drifted from [its] mission and instead act contrary to the interests of the United States while attacking our allies and propagating anti-Semitism. As in 2018, when the United States withdrew from the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC), the United States will reevaluate our commitment to these institutions.
Trump wrote that terrorists have “reportedly” penetrated UNRWA, and that its employees joined in the Hamas terror outfit’s attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. He said:
UNHRC has protected human rights abusers by allowing them to use the organization to shield themselves from scrutiny, while UNESCO has demonstrated failure to reform itself, has continually demonstrated anti-Israel sentiment over the past decade, and has failed to address concerns over mounting arrears.
Thus did Trump pull the U.S. out of UNHRC. Secretary of State Marco Rubio will shut down the office of the American representative to the terror-supporting outfit.
