The Trump administration on Tuesday announced that it will again be withdrawing from the U.N. cultural agency UNESCO. This is an expected move that sees the U.S. further retreating from international organizations.
State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce said in a statement that the withdrawal was linked to UNESCO’s perceived agenda to “advance divisive social and cultural causes.”
She added that UNESCO’s decision in 2011 “to admit the ‘State of Palestine’ as a Member State is highly problematic, contrary to U.S. policy, and contributed to the proliferation of anti-Israel rhetoric within the organization.”
