President Trump Announces U.S. Will Pull Out Of UNESCO

[Conservative Angle]

​

The Trump administration is continuing to put America first!

President Trump has announced that the United States will pull out of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

This isn’t Trump’s first time pulling out of UNESCO.

He pulled out of it during his first term in 2017, but the U.S. later backed it in 2023 under Biden.

The Hill reported more on Trump’s move to exit UNESCO:

President Trump is set to once again withdraw from The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the State Department announced Tuesday.

In announcing the U.S. is leaving the cultural organization, State spokesperson Tammy Bruce said that “like many UN organizations, UNESCO strayed from its founding mission.”

“Going forward, U.S. participation in international organizations must make America safer, stronger, and more prosperous,” Bruce added in a post on the social platform X.

The president in February signed an executive order directing the U.S. to review its participation in UNESCO. In that order, he also withdrew the U.S. from the United Nations Human Rights Council and from participating in UNRWA, the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees.

“I’ve always felt that the U.N. has tremendous potential. It’s not living up to that potential right now. It really hasn’t for a long time,” Trump said at the time.

So, what is UNESCO?

Here’s what UNESCO does according to their website:

UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, is a specialized agency dedicated to strengthening our shared humanity through the promotion of education, science, culture, and communication.

We set standards, produce tools and develop knowledge to create solutions to some of the greatest challenges of our time, and foster a world of greater equality and peace.

Protecting biodiversity, responding to artificial intelligence, advancing quality education, safeguarding heritage, and ensuring access to reliable information are some examples of the work that UNESCO does with its 194 Member States across the globe.

UNESCO’s director general has repsonded to Trump’s move:

I deeply regret President Donald Trump’s decision to once again withdraw the United States of America from UNESCO – a decision that will take effect at the end of December 2026.

This decision contradicts the fundamental principles of multilateralism, and may affect first and foremost our many partners in the United States of America— communities seeking site inscription on the World Heritage List, Creative City status, and University Chairs.

However regrettable, this announcement was anticipated, and UNESCO has prepared for it.

In recent years, we have undertaken major structural reforms and diversified our funding sources. Thanks to the efforts made by the Organization since 2018, the decreasing trend in the financial contribution of the US has been offset, so that it now represents 8% of the Organization’s total budget compared to 40% for some United Nations entities; while at the same time, UNESCO’s overall budget has steadily increased. Today, the Organization is better protected in financial terms, with the steady support of a large number of Member States and private contributors. These voluntary contributions have doubled since 2018.
