The Yomiuri Shimbun's front page reported that US President Trump signed a document directing the withdrawal from 66 international organizations, including the UN Population Fund, citing reasons such as "not in the national interest."
On the 7th, the White House announced that President Trump signed a presidential memorandum directing the withdrawal from 66 international organizations, including 31 UN agencies.
The international organizations to be withdrawn include: IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), UN Population Fund, United Nations University, etc.
The White House stated, "President Trump will terminate the United States' participation in international organizations that undermine national independence, are inefficient, or have hostile programs that waste taxpayers' money."
President Trump had also expressed his intention to withdraw from the Paris Agreement on the climate change framework and WHO (World Health Organization) shortly after his second inauguration in January of last year.
Kuron, chairman researcher of the Tokyo Foundation, and former Liberal Democratic Party senator Sato Masahisa appeared on BS Nippon's "Deep NEWS" on the 8th to discuss issues regarding the US president's decision to withdraw from international organizations and treaties.
Kuron pointed out that many international organizations centered around the United Nations "are actually not functioning," and said, "The problem is how to rebuild new international organizations and international rules after withdrawal. The lack of such creativity is the issue." Sato said, "If the US withdraws, the void left could be filled by China, making it easier for China-led rules to be established within the UN," expressing "concern."
