[Regnum] The United States has decided to withdraw from UNESCO in 2027. This was reported on July 22 by the press service of the State Department.
“Withdrawal from UNESCO will take place on December 31, 2026,” the statement said.
The department clarified that membership in the organization does not meet the national interests of the United States and contradicts the country's foreign policy principles of "America First."
The State Department added that UNESCO's admission of Palestine as a member state raises serious questions and contributes to the spread of anti-Israeli rhetoric within the organization.
As reported by Regnum News Agency, on June 2, Trump proposed suspending most mandatory and all voluntary contributions to UN agencies, including the World Health Organization (WHO) and UNESCO, in his draft federal budget for the 2026 fiscal year.
In January, the American leader signed an executive order to withdraw the United States from the WHO. He pointed out that the United States pays $500 million in contributions to the organization each year, while China, which has a population four times larger, pays only $39 million. The president called this situation unfair and cited it as a reason for leaving the organization.
