US set to Withdraw from UNESCO

Kings Olajide
The government of the United States (US) has announced the country's decision to withdraw its membership from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) by the end of 2026.

UNESCO is a specialized agency of the United Nations (UN) with the aim of promoting world peace and security through international cooperation in education, arts, sciences and culture.

This development is coming two years after the US rejoined the global agency. Donald Trump first pulled the U.S. from the agency during his first term in 2018, before the country rejoined under the Joe Biden's administration in 2023.

Today, the United States informed Director-General, Audrey Azoulay of the United States’ decision to withdraw from UNESCO,” State Department said in a statement issued by its spokeswoman, Tammy Bruce, on Tuesday, July 22, 2025.

“Continued involvement in UNESCO is not in the national interest of the United States,” the department added.

It could be recalled that the U.S President, Donald Trump ordered a review of the country’s involvement and funding in the United Nations (UN) in early February, 2025 just days after taking office for a second term.

At the time, Trump said the UN had “tremendous potential” but “it’s not being well run.”

In the statement, the State Department accused the organization of working “to advance divisive social and cultural causes and maintains an outsized focus on the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a globalist, ideological agenda for international development at odds with our America First foreign policy.”

“UNESCO’s decision 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.” Trump frankly stated.
