In a dramatic shift, the Trump administration announced its withdrawal from 66 international organizations, including major entities like the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, marking a retreat from global cooperation.
President Trump criticized these organizations as "wasteful" and aligned with "radical" initiatives, framing the decision as a bold move to protect U.S. national interests and promote an "America First" agenda.
The U.S. exit from key climate treaties has prompted fierce backlash from international leaders, with critics labeling the decision as self-sabotage that threatens jobs, economic stability, and America's voice in global climate discussions.
Additional concerns have emerged over the legal implications of the withdrawal, with some experts suggesting that Congressional approval should be required for such significant policy changes.
The response from global allies has been overwhelmingly negative, with European leaders condemning the U.S. actions as profoundly damaging to both international relationships and global climate efforts.
This withdrawal illustrates a stark departure from decades of U.S. leadership in international diplomacy, prioritizing nationalism over multilateral collaboration in addressing pressing global challenges.
