It bothers me that any president has the power to do this. I think treaties require Senate approval. It should take the same amount of oversight to leave them.

I'm not sure that he does. Of course, it doesn't effectively matter since nobody tries to stop him when he does shit like this.

I think the time has come for the UN to expel the United States. As Secretary General Anotnio Guterres stated, as long as the US is a member of the UN, it has a legal obligation to fund those agencies. The US owes $1.5 billion in dues.

Trump's handlers gave him a list. "Sir? Here are the orders to withdraw from the organizations you ordered us to look into. You were right, they all (practice DEI, are high cost, are radical liberals, whatever)."
