President Donald Trump signed a presidential memorandum withdrawing the United States from 66 international organizations, including the India-France led International Solar Alliance. The White House announced the directive targets 35 non-UN organizations and 31 UN entities deemed contrary to American interests. The withdrawals affect major environmental bodies like the International Union for Conservation of Nature and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The administration claims these organizations promote globalist agendas conflicting with US sovereignty and waste taxpayer money without meaningful results. The "America First" policy aims to redirect resources toward domestic priorities including infrastructure, national security, and economic strength. The decision follows a comprehensive review of international treaties and conventions receiving US support. (PC: Getty Images)
