Trump Cuts Ties with UN Human Rights Council & UNRWA: Accusations of Hamas Ties and Anti-Israel Bias

18 hours ago

U.S. President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to withdraw the United States from the UN Human Rights Council and halt funding to the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). The decision follows accusations that UNRWA employees were complicit with Hamas in attacks on Israel, leading Trump to label the agency corrupt and anti-Israel. This move is part of Trump’s broader stance against institutions he believes undermine American interests and support terrorism.

00:00But it's not being well-run, to be honest, and they're not doing...

00:06...withdraw the United States from the UN Human Rights Council,

00:10would withdraw the United States from the...

00:13Again, it's got great potential, and based on the potential,

00:16we'll continue to go along with it, but...

00:19Next up, in light of numerous actions

00:22taken by a number of bodies of the United Nations

00:25which exhibit a deep anti-American bias,

00:28we have an executive order prepared for your attention

00:31that would withdraw the United States from the UN Human Rights Council,

00:35would withdraw the United States from the UNRWA,

00:38which is a refugee organization,

00:41and would also review American involvement in UNESCO,

00:46which has also exhibited anti-American bias.

00:49More generally, the executive order calls for a review

00:52of American involvement and funding in the UN

00:56in light of the wild disparities in levels of funding

00:59among different countries that, as you've expressed previously,

01:03is deeply unfair to the United States.

01:06So I've always felt that the UN has tremendous potential.

01:10It's not living up to that potential right now.

01:13It really isn't, hasn't for a long time.

01:16There are great hopes for it,

01:19but it's not being well-run, to be honest,

01:24and not doing the job.

01:26A lot of these conflicts that we're working on should be settled,

01:29or at least we should have some help in settling them.

01:32We never seem to get help.

01:34That should be the primary purpose of the UN, the United Nations.

01:37And again, it's got great potential, and based on the potential,

01:40we'll continue to go along with it,

01:43but they've got to get their act together.

01:50What would they need to do to get their act together?

01:53They've got to be fair to countries that deserve fairness.

01:56They have some countries, as you know,

01:59that are outliers, that are very bad,

02:02and they're being almost preferred as countries

02:05to those that do their job and are doing a good job,

02:09and they have to really...

02:11They're going to end up losing a lot of countries.

02:13They're going to end up losing their credibility,

02:15like other organizations, and then they're going to be nothing.

02:18The potential of the United Nations,

02:20and not everybody agrees with me on this,

02:22the potential of the United Nations is fantastic,

02:25if properly run.

02:27So we'll see what happens.

02:32Well, we're taking away a little bit,

02:34but we're not looking to take away money.

02:36This is so important that we're really...

02:38As you know, the United Nations is largely funded by us,

02:42and it shouldn't be.

02:44It should be funded by everybody,

02:46but we're disproportionate, as we always seem to be.

02:49But it's something that if it ever lived up to the potential,

02:52in ten minutes it would make up the difference.

02:55That's the kind of power it could have.

02:57Right now it doesn't have that power.
