The US has announced it is withdrawing from dozens of international bodies that no longer serve American interests, including major UN and non-UN forums focused on climate, migration, social policy, peace, and democracy.
President Donald Trump had signed a memorandum suspending support for a total of 66 organizations, agencies, and commissions “that operate contrary to US national interests, security, economic prosperity, or sovereignty,” the White House said on Thursday.
“These withdrawals end taxpayer support for entities that advance globalist agendas over US priorities or address key issues inefficiently,” the statement read, adding that many of them targeted “radical climate policies, global governance, and ideological programs conflicting with US sovereignty and economic strength.”
Affected organizations: UNFCCC, the UN’s main body for climate negotiations; UN Women, the body dealing with gender equality; and UNFPA, a major agency on population and demographics.
Non-UN bodies: the IPCC, a major authority on climate "science" ; the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA); and the Global Counterterrorism Forum.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio hailed Trump’s move, accusing the targeted bodies of “actively seeking to constrain American sovereignty.”

Janet Yellen shocked the banking world when she said that America's “needed belt tightening is significant—larger than in most programs supported by the International Monetary Fund."
Yes, even larger than the bankrupt nations now beholden to the IMF, which demands a kind of austerity Americans might not survive. Examples:
By 2010, Greek debt had spiraled to 130% of GDP and climbing. No one was willing to lend them money anymore... forcing the IMF to swoop in with a "rescue" package that came with brutal strings attached.
Pensions were slashed by 40%. Public sector wages were frozen, then cut. Over 150,000 government workers were laid off. State assets—airports, ports, utilities—were sold off at fire-sale prices to foreign investors.
Greece's economy contracted by 25%. Youth unemployment hit 60%. An entire generation was hollowed out.
Argentina has been through the IMF wringer multiple times; in fact in in 2018, Argentina received the largest bailout in IMF history: $57 billion....
