In a dramatic move shaking global diplomacy, former U.S. President Donald Trump has ordered America's withdrawal from 66 international organizations this week – his most sweeping rejection of multilateral cooperation since returning to office in 2025. The White House called these groups 'outdated vehicles for woke agendas' in a fiery social media announcement. 💥
The list includes 31 UN bodies like climate panels and trade development groups, plus 35 non-UN organizations ranging from anti-piracy coalitions to renewable energy alliances. Climate-focused groups took the hardest hit, with exits from:
🌱 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
⚡ International Renewable Energy Agency
🌍 24/7 Carbon-Free Energy Compact
This comes just 12 days before the January 20 anniversary of Trump's controversial second-term inauguration. Over the past year, his administration has already withdrawn from WHO, UNESCO, and the Paris Climate Accord while slashing UN funding. 💸
Global leaders reacted swiftly, with Danish PM Mette Frederiksen warning of NATO tensions after Trump questioned the alliance's reliability earlier this week. Meanwhile, Asian security experts expressed concern over the U.S. exit from anti-piracy agreements critical to regional shipping routes. 🚢
As young professionals and climate activists voice alarm online (#ClimateExitTrend), analysts predict this move could reshape everything from global carbon targets to supply chain security in 2026.
