Withdrawing the United States from International Organizations, Conventions, and Treaties that Are Contrary to the Interests of the United States

The order directs federal agencies to withdraw the United States from certain international organizations, conventions, and treaties deemed contrary to the country's interests. The Secretary of State, in consultation with the United States Representative to the United Nations, was previously tasked to review all such international affiliations. Based on the review's findings, the order now dictates immediate steps to cease participation in or funding for a listed set of organizations, including various non-United Nations and United Nations entities, as permitted by law.
