President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Wednesday to withdraw the United States from more international organizations.
The move is part of a clear shift in U.S. foreign policy. This policy rejects traditional coalition-building and seeks fewer multinational agreements.
The order directs officials to review all U.S. involvement in global groups. It aims to leave organizations seen as not serving American interests. The White House calls many current memberships "bad deals."
This continues a pattern. The U.S. has recently left the World Health Organization and the Paris climate accord. Experts say this approach prioritizes national sovereignty over international consensus.
