President Donald Trump’s latest executive order will certainly be the most damaging to the international community since taking office for a second term. The administration has now officially frozen funding for dozens of U.N. agencies, which it described as “woke,” focusing on climate, labor, migration, and even protection against child violence.
The original was made by the Department of State, which declared 66 international organizations “wasteful, ineffective, and harmful.” In the official press release, the agency wrote, “The Trump Administration has found these institutions to be redundant in their scope, mismanaged, unnecessary, wasteful, poorly run, 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.”
