US to withdraw from several key international organizations

US Pulls Out of Over 60 Agencies, Including Half of UN Organizations

The United States has announced plans to withdraw from more than 60 agencies, with half of them being part of the United Nations. The move is attributed to President Donald Trump’s administration, which claims that membership in these organizations is detrimental to the country’s interests.

According to reports, the secretary of state has stated that some UN agencies are “useless” or “wasteful.” This decision has sparked global criticism, with the UN reaffirming its commitment to delivering on its responsibilities.

The implications of this move for the multilateral global order are being closely monitored. The United States’ withdrawal from these organizations raises questions about the future of international cooperation and the role of the US in maintaining global stability.

Experts will be discussing the potential consequences of this decision, including the impact on global governance and the relationships between nations. The discussion will also touch on the historical context of the post-World War II global order and how it has evolved over time.

The event will feature a panel discussion with Adolfo Franco, Andrew Gilmour, and Matthew Duss, who will provide their perspectives on this significant development in international relations.
