U.S. to Exit UNESCO Again Over Policy Disputes
TL;DR Summary
The US announced it will withdraw from Unesco by December 2026, citing concerns over the organization's focus and anti-Israel bias, marking the third time the US has left the agency since its founding. The decision aligns with Trump's broader strategy to pull out of international organizations, despite Unesco's efforts in education and cultural preservation. The move is seen as a blow to Unesco, though the financial impact is limited due to US contributions constituting about 8% of its budget.
