Secretary of State provides additional guidance to agencies for implementation as needed.
Source summary
On January 7, 2026 President Donald J. Trump issued a presidential memorandum directing executive departments and agencies to take immediate steps to withdraw
the United States from a long list of international organizations, conventions, and treaties deemed contrary to
U.S. interests. The directive follows a review ordered by Executive Order 14199; for U.N. entities, "withdrawal" is defined as ceasing participation or funding to the extent permitted by law. The Secretary of State is tasked with providing implementation guidance and publishing the memorandum in the Federal Register; implementation is subject to applicable law and available appropriations.
