Trump Signs Executive Order to Withdraw from UN Human Rights Council and UNRWA

President Trump signed an executive order withdrawing the U.S. from the UN Human Rights Council and ending funding to UNRWA, the Palestinian refugee agency. The decision, which aligns with Trump's criticism of perceived bias against Israel and the U.S. within UN bodies, coincided with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's visit. The order highlights a broader review of U.S. involvement in international organizations. Previous funding cuts during Trump's first term are noted, along with accusations against UNRWA staff related to terrorism. The ongoing review addresses concerns about anti-American sentiment in global institutions.
