U.S. Quits 66 Global Groups in Sweeping Withdrawal

The White House has ordered a full withdrawal of the United States from 66 international organizations. Officials stated the groups no longer serve American interests. The move, announced Monday, represents a dramatic shift in foreign policy. It includes exiting treaties, agencies, and partnerships across the United Nations and other global bodies. A senior administration official called the organizations "contrary to the interests of the United States." The official said the groups were inefficient or worked against U.S. policies. The list includes several United Nations climate and cultural agreements. The administration did not immediately name all 66 organizations. Foreign policy analysts call this one of the largest single withdrawals from global cooperation in history. Allies are expected to seek clarification on the specific impacts.
