UNITED NATIONS/WASHINGTON: (Jan 8) President Donald Trump has withdrawn the US from over 60 international organisations, including UN bodies and the India-France-led International Solar Alliance, calling the institutions “redundant” and “contrary” to America’s interests.
Trump signed the memorandum on Wednesday titled ‘Withdrawing the United States from International Organisations, Conventions, and Treaties that Are Contrary to the Interests of the United States’.
After signing, Trump said he has determined that it is “contrary” to the interests of the United States to remain a member of, participate in, or otherwise provide support to the 66 UN and Non-United Nations organisations.
