Trump Announces U.S. Withdrawal from Dozens of International Groups and U.N. Agencies

HeadlineJan 08, 2026

President Trump announced Wednesday that the U.S. will withdraw from dozens of international and U.N. entities, including the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change, the UNFCCC. The move would make it difficult for a future presidential administration to rejoin the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement. In a memo to senior administration officials, Trump also said the U.S. will quit participation in U.N. Women, which works for gender equality around the world, and the U.N. Population Fund, which is focused on family planning and the health of mothers and children in more than 150 countries.
