The United States withdrew from the United Nations cultural organization UNESCO on Tuesday, saying continued involvement was not in the US national interest. "UNESCO works to advance divisive social and cultural causes and maintains an outsized focus on the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, a globalist, ideological agenda for international development at odds with our America First foreign policy," State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce said in a statement.
White House deputy spokesperson, Anna Kelly, earlier told the New York Post daily newspaper that the withdrawal was due to UNESCO's support for " woke, divisive cultural and social causes that are totally out-of-step with the commonsense policies that Americans voted for in November".
The move, which will take place at the end of December 2026, is a blow to the Paris-based agency, founded after World War II to promote peace through international cooperation in education, science, and culture.
Head of UNESCO, Audrey Azoulay, on Tuesday said the US announcement had come as no surprise. "I deeply regret President Donald Trump's decision to once again withdraw the United States of America from UNESCO," Azoulay said. "However regrettable, this announcement was expected, and UNESCO has prepared for it".
