President Donald Trump signed a memorandum on Wednesday ordering the United States’ withdrawal from more than 60 international organizations that he described as being “contrary to the interests of the United States.”
The move comes nearly one year after Trump issued Executive Order 14199 directing Secretary of State Marco Rubio to review all international intergovernmental organizations that the United States is involved in financially or otherwise “to determine which organizations, conventions, and treaties are contrary to the interests” of the US.
