The United States announced a strict review of UNESCO expenses and its third withdrawal from the organization.

America has announced two major news about the United Nations today! The first is that the United States is preparing to conduct a strict review of the United Nations' expenditures; the second is that the United States is stepping down from UNESCO for the third time in its history!

American UN Representative Walts stated at a Senate hearing that the United States will continue to fund peacekeeping operations, counter-terrorism, and provide necessary humanitarian aid, but emphasized that all UN expenditures will be carefully verified, thereby cutting spending that the US considers "ineffective, ideologically driven, or conflicting with Washington's interests."

White House Deputy Spokesperson Anna Kelly said today that the President decided to withdraw the United States from UNESCO because the organization supports initiatives that do not align with American interests.

"The President decided to withdraw the United States from UNESCO, an organization that supports progressive and controversial cultural and social initiatives, which completely contradicts the clear policies supported by Americans in November."

Additionally, another mistake confirmed by the United States regarding UNESCO is that it uses its executive board to promote "anti-Israeli and anti-Semitic initiatives," including listing Jewish holy sites as part of the Palestinian World Heritage List and condemning the Jewish state's war against Hamas."

Another rather humorous accusation is that the Deputy Director-General of UNESCO, Qu Xing, is a Chinese citizen, which the United States believes means "our country is using its influence within UNESCO to promote global standards that serve China's interests."
