President Trump has announced the United States will once again withdraw from The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), claiming the organisation no longer serves American interests. The move, echoing a similar decision during his first term, reignites concerns over Washington’s retreat from global cooperation. The State Department says the decision will take effect by the end of next year and cited “globalist ideology” and anti-Israel bias within UNESCO as key reasons.
In a separate development, Trump has accused a former president—Barack Obama—of treason, alleging a conspiracy to sabotage his 2016 campaign by fabricating ties to Russia. The claim comes without formal evidence and follows a statement from Trump’s intelligence chief, Tulsi Gabbard, referencing so-called declassified documents. However, official CIA and Senate findings contradict those assertions.
Critics argue the accusation may be a political smokescreen, especially as Trump faces pressure from his base to release files related to Jeffrey Epstein. The episode marks the most direct attack on Obama since Trump returned to office.
