Many of the listed agencies work on climate, public health, humanitarian relief and protections for children in conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump said U.S. participation and funding would be halted. <strong>UN spokesperson St\u00e9phane Dujarric<\/strong> said the organization would issue a formal response. The announcement follows earlier exits during Trump\u2019s second term, including from the <strong>World Health Organization (WHO)<\/strong>, the <strong>Paris climate agreement<\/strong>, and the <strong>UN Human Rights Council<\/strong>. The United States is scheduled to complete its WHO departure on <strong>January 22<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Between 2024 and 2025, the U.S. contributed <strong>$261 million<\/strong> to WHO\u2014about <strong>18%<\/strong> of the agency\u2019s total funding for major health emergencies, including tuberculosis and COVID-19, according to administration figures. The White House also said it is maintaining the freeze on U.S. funding for the <strong>UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Analysts warned the decision could further constrain U.S. engagement in global crisis response and long-running initiatives on climate and public health. The administration did not immediately provide a full implementation timeline beyond the WHO exit date.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. President Donald Trump has announced plans to pull the United States out of 66 international organizations, including 31 United Nations bodies, and to terminate all related funding, according to a presidential memorandum released Wednesday evening.
