President Donald Trump has announced the withdrawal of the United States from 66 international organizations identified as part of the Trump Administration’s review of wasteful, ineffective, and harmful international organizations, including the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance.

“Review of additional international organizations pursuant to Executive Order 14199 remains ongoing,” said President Donald Trump.

A statement from the Whitehouse said, “The Trump Administration has found these institutions to be redundant in their scope, mismanaged, unnecessary, wasteful, poorly run, captured by the interests of actors advancing their own agendas contrary to our own, or a threat to our nation’s sovereignty, freedoms, and general prosperity.

“It is no longer acceptable to be sending these institutions the blood, sweat, and treasure of the American people, with little to nothing to show for it. The days of billions of dollars in taxpayer money flowing to foreign interests at the expense of our people are over.”

Some of the organizations include International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property; International Cotton Advisory Committee; International Development Law Organization; International Energy Forum; International Federation of Arts Councils and Culture Agencies; International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance and International Institute for Justice and the Rule of Law.

The United States will be withdrawing from the 66 organizations that can be found here.

“As this list begins to demonstrate, what started as a pragmatic framework of international organizations for peace and cooperation has morphed into a sprawling architecture of global governance, often dominated by progressive ideology and detached from national interests” the statement added.

“From DEI mandates to “gender equity” campaigns to climate orthodoxy, many international organizations now serve a globalist project rooted in the discredited fantasy of the “End of History.” These organizations actively seek to constrain American sovereignty. Their work is advanced by the same elite networks—the multilateral “NGO-plex”— that we have begun dismantling through the closure of USAID.”

“We will not continue expending resources, diplomatic capital, and the legitimizing weight of our participation in institutions that are irrelevant to or in conflict with our interests. We reject inertia and ideology in favor of prudence and purpose. We seek cooperation where it serves our people and will stand firm where it does not.”
