I deeply regret President Donald Trump's decision to once again withdraw the United States of America from UNESCO – a decision that will take effect at the end of December 2026.

The Trump administration plans to pull out of the U.N. cultural agency, putting UNESCO back at the center of geopolitical rivalry.

Antonio Guterres “deeply regrets this withdrawal, in light of the major role the US has played in UNESCO since its founding”

President Donald Trump had pulled out of the organisation during his first term as well. The decision was reversed by Joe Biden.

The United States of America is preparing to withdraw from UNESCO, the United Nations’ cultural and educational agency, according to media reports published today. The decision is seen as part of President Donald Trump's broader approach to reducing US involvement in international organisations he has previously criticised.

The United States announced Tuesday it will again pull out of the U.N.'s educational, scientific and cultural agency because it believes that its involvement is not in the country's national interest,

Trump ordered a 90-day review of America’s presence in UNESCO back in February, with special emphasis on probing “anti-Semitism or anti-Israel sentiment.”
