Payam Javan: President Donald Trump, ever the champion of American sovereignty and taxpayer prosperity, once again delivered a powerful “America First” blow, announcing the withdrawal of the United States from a staggering 66 international organizations, conventions, and treaties. This decisive action, revealed on January 7th, is a clear signal that the days of funding globalist schemes at the expense of hard-working Americans are unequivocally over. The Trump administration meticulously identified these entities as either redundant, woefully mismanaged, or outright hostile to our nation’s core interests, proving once more that President Trump stands firm against the entrenched international bureaucracy.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio minced no words, stating unequivocally that these institutions were “captured by the interests of actors advancing their own agendas contrary to our own, or a threat to our nation’s sovereignty, freedoms, and general prosperity.” He correctly identified many as being “often dominated by progressive ideology and detached from national interests,” citing the insidious creep of “DEI mandates,” “gender equity” campaigns, and “climate orthodoxy.” This is not merely about financial waste; it’s about reclaiming our national identity from a “globalist project” that actively seeks to constrain American sovereignty, a project President Trump has consistently vowed to dismantle.
The comprehensive list of withdrawals includes 31 entities tied to the United Nations, alongside 35 other non-U.N. bodies, ranging from economic affairs departments to environmental compacts. This bold move ensures that American blood, sweat, and treasure are no longer squandered on organizations that offer “little to nothing to show for it” and instead serve an elite, multilateral “NGO-plex.” Furthermore, President Trump’s executive order directs the State Department to continue this crucial review, ensuring that any international body failing to serve American interests will face the same righteous scrutiny and swift action.
This latest triumph for American common sense is entirely consistent with President Trump’s unwavering commitment to putting our nation first. It echoes his previous courageous withdrawal from the U.N. Human Rights Council, an organization he rightly slammed for failing its purpose, protecting human rights violators, and displaying a blatant anti-Israel bias. Donald Trump consistently demonstrates that he is the only leader willing to stand up to the globalist establishment, protect our borders, our wallets, and our values, and truly make America great again.
