Trump to withdraw US from UNHRC and stop UNRWA funding

Published



President Donald Trump will sign an executive order withdrawing the United States from the United Nations Human Rights Council and prohibiting future funding for the U.N. relief agency for Gaza known as UNRWA, a White House source told the Washington Examiner.

The executive order reinstates policies that Trump had in place during his first administration, though the Middle East looks vastly different than when he left the White House. It also comes a day before he’s set to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
