These are the 66 global organizations the Trump administration is leaving (AP)

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration says it’s going to depart 66 international organizations, nearly half them affiliated with the United Nations.

Many focus on climate, labor, migration and other issues the Trump administration has categorized as catering to diversity and “woke” initiatives.

Complete list at link. Both non-UN and UN agencies.

I wonder if Trump intends to withdraw from the UN altogether?
I'm aware some extreme right wingers have been calling for that for decades.

Or is being a permanent Security Council member too useful? Veto power, you know.

It’s just another BS phrase they worked up in the P2025 creative sessions to literally take over the world (order) — not just isolate the US.

The question is Why…what is actually behind this. I think the idea of dividing up the world order into three powers is in the answer.
