US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to withdraw the US from several UN organizations, including the Human Rights Council (UNHRC). The White House also withdrew from the primary UN relief organization for Palestinians (UNRWA) and planned to evaluate involvement with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). These actions were taken in response to perceived 'anti-American bias' within these UN agencies. The executive order calls for a review of American involvement and funding in the UN. The move comes as the US concludes its current term on the UN Human Rights Council.
