On January 7, US president Donald Trump promised to withdraw the US from 35 international organizations and 31 UN agencies:
The Memorandum orders all Executive Departments and Agencies to cease participating in and funding 35 non-United Nations (UN) organizations and 31 UN entities that operate contrary to U.S. national interests, security, economic prosperity, or sovereignty.
Unverified: then the White House deleted the announcement from their website (personal note: I did receive 404 on it for a while).
Correction: announcement is still up or has reappeared. An archived copy is also available in case they change their mind.
Please note: he can’t leave NATO by decree, the keys got taken to the Congress during Biden’s time. It’s among the few treaties a US president currently cannot leave.
Yeah just put it on the pile of other stuff he’s not legally allowed to do but he’s doing anyway
hope in one hand and take a shit in the other kinda dealio
takes a shit on your hands
…what? Is that not what you wanted?
He hasn’t exactly let that stop him before, especially since MAGA controls Congress.
To my understanding, there are multiple republican congress critters against leaving NATO - so, despite nominal MAGA control, no majority.
Did they actually vote that way? I wouldn’t trust any of them on their word.
TIL! Oh well.
