President Donald J. Trump issued a memorandum on January 7, 2026 directing the United States to withdraw from a wide range of international organizations it views as contrary to U.S. interests. The order follows Executive Order 14199, which had the Secretary of State review all U.S. participation in intergovernmental bodies, conventions, and treaties. The memorandum lists 55 non‑UN organizations, including the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the International Renewable Energy Agency, and the International Union for Conservation of Nature, and 37 UN entities such as the Department of Economic and Social Affairs, the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, and the UN University. For UN bodies, withdrawal means stopping participation or funding where law allows. The Secretary of State will provide further guidance, and the action is subject to available appropriations.
