💨 Abstract

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, has announced that the U.S. will withdraw from UNESCO, effective 2026. The decision comes amid Trump's broader effort to distance the U.S. from international organizations and dismantle DEI programs. The administration criticizes UNESCO's support for progressive causes and its recognition of 'Palestine' as a state member, which it claims has led to anti-Israeli rhetoric.
