President Trump signed a presidential order on Tuesday, calling for a general screening of funding and involvement in the United States, and discriminating the role of the United States as a leader in the world's top donors.
“I always felt that the United Nations had a great possibility,” Trump said before he signed an order in an elliptical office. “I don't meet that possibility now.”

I did. These movements were predicted as Trump withdrew our involvement from both organizations during his first term as president.
In addition, Trump's order has called for a UNESCO's involvement in UNESCO, who protects a World Heritage Site, on the claim that the White House's secretary was shown in the anti -American bias. When giving a order to sign Trump, Charf said that Trump was derived from the “different country's disparity and financing level”, which Trump was regarded as “deeply unfair to the United States.”
According to the Presidential Ordinance, StéPhanedujarric, the United Nations, states that US support to the United Nations has advanced global security, and Secretary -General Antóniogatterres says “President Trump and the US government. I am looking forward to continuing to strengthen that relationship.
The United Nations is preparing for Trump's second phase and has already experienced the turbulent era during the first four years. Guterres managed the tension between the United Nations and Washington at the time by almost not engaged in public spats with Trump.
On the first day of his second phase, Trump separated the United States from the World Health Organization and Paris Climate Agreement.
“Trump's attack on the UNRWA and the United Nations Human Rights Council was widely expected,” said Richard Gowan, the United Nations Director of the International Crisis Group, a dispute resolution. “But the knock -on effect of administration's freezing is more and more nervous,” he added.
In addition to hosting the United Nations Headquarters in New York City, the United States is the highest donor of the agency, contributing to about 22 % of the overall budget, followed by China (15 %) and Japan (8 %). Continue. In 2024, US contributions were estimated to be about $ 3.6 billion, based on institutional management and peace maintenance budget.
The United States is also a major donation to various UN organizations and seeks the world's global humanitarian charms of world groups in order to support the population during conflicts and natural disasters. In 2022, the United States donated about $ 18 billion to the United Nations. Last year, we paid 47 % of institutional humanitarian efforts, that is, about $ 14 billion.
But Tuesday, Trump criticized the United Nations that he had stated that he could not solve the furious conflict around the world. He said that his administration was trying to deal with it. The United Nations has been widely blamed because some of the world did not fulfill and support peace.
The United Nations Security Council -15 members in charge of the mediation and end of conflicts -Available in Wukraine and Gaza to be nervous among permanent residents who maintain the veto of the five. It has been accused of not: Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States. For example, in the case of Ukraine and Gaza, both Russia and the United States have blocked several resolutions to end the war.
Mr. Trump said on Tuesday, “it was not fair for a fair country,” on Tuesday without naming the country. He probably mean Israel. Elise Stefanik, an election that Mr. Trump is an U.S. ambassador, stated in the confirmation of her Senate that the government agency had been prejudiced by anti -Israel, accusing him to be anti -Semitism.
Mr. Trump also speculated without evidence that many countries would leave the United Nations if the organization did not change the course. He added that although the United Nations as the best financial supporter of the United Nations, he did not try to take money, but would like to encourage organizations to operate more efficiently.
In fact, Mr. Trump's decision on the UNRWA and the United Nations Human Rights may not have very immediate effects.

Regarding the UN Human Rights Council, Spokesman stated that the United States had little to affect the work of the institution because the United States was not one of the 47 voting members of the Geneva council, which is currently not one of the 47 voting members of Geneva. The Council has permitted the investigation and puts pressure on the authority to take responsibility for the authority, and discusses violations in countries such as Russia, Myanmar, Iran, and North Korea.
Under the Biden administration, the United States abandoned the membership of the Council at the end of 2024. However, as a state of the observer, it still has the right to participate in the council's deliberations, and if it is selected, it will play an influential role by discussing in discussions and forming the content of the council resolution. can.
The Trump administration's critical test is a process in which the United Nations will be reviewing the human rights record in the latter half of this year, and all UN memberians participated. The US decision not to participate in the next review set in November will give a serious blow to the council's reliability and open the path to the dictatorship to avoid scrutiny.
The rights organization stated that a complete withdrawal means that these discussions do not have the United States.
“President Trump's performance decides that the United States is pleased to completely hand over an important decision on human rights violations around the world to other countries from the HRC Signal to other areas of the world. “Amnesty International America.
