Trump to Exit U.S. from UN Human Rights Council, End Funding to UNRWA.

President Donald J. Trump is set to withdraw the United States from the United Nations Human Rights Council and end any funding for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), whose members were previously caught working with Hamas.

POLITICO reports it has seen a document outlining the reasons for the U.S. leaving the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC). It states, “The UNHRC has demonstrated consistent bias against Israel, focusing on it unfairly and disproportionately in council proceedings.” It also notes that President Trump withdrew the U.S. from the UNHRC in 2018 during his first administration.

President Trump is expected to sign an executive order removing the U.S. from the UNHRC and will also call on Secretary of State Marco Rubio to examine other international groups that promote “radical or anti-American sentiment.”

The executive order will also shut down funds to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), which has received over $8 billion over ten years from Western nations. At least nine UNRWA staff participated in Hamas’s October 7 terror attacks in Israel in 2023, a fact later admitted by the United Nations last year.

President Trump has already paused foreign aid funding, announcing a 90-day freeze just days after his inauguration. The United States spends around $60 billion per year on foreign aid projects, the most of any country globally.
