President Donald Trump is withdrawing the United States from 66 international organizations, listed in his memorandum.

Under the president’s previous direction, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the U.S. Representative to the UN conducted a review of all the international intergovernmental organizations in which the U.S. was a member or provided support.

President Trump announced, “I have considered the Secretary of State’s report and, after deliberating with my Cabinet, have determined that it is contrary to the interests of the United States to remain a member of, participate in, or otherwise provide support to the organizations listed.”

“I hereby direct all executive departments and agencies (agencies) to take immediate steps to effectuate the withdrawal of the United States from the organizations listed in section 2 of this memorandum as soon as possible,” the president stated. “For United Nations entities, withdrawal means ceasing participation in or funding to those entities to the extent permitted by law.”

As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…

• For President Trump and leaders in his Cabinet as they review U.S. membership and obligations to foreign organizations.
• For discernment for Secretary Rubio as he oversees the review of American participation in international groups.
• For U.S. diplomats and ambassadors as they participate in the withdrawal from the intergovernmental organizations.
