Trump’s focus on America First is leading to a review of our participation in the United Nations programs like UNESCO and what we are paying for them…and getting in return.

Over my many years at Legal Insurrection, I have reported on the United Nations climate conferences that were filled with eco-activists, climate cultists, and globalist glitterati. While entertaining, it was hard to stomach how much our country was spending supporting pseudoscience and socialist agendas cloaked in environmentalism.
Well, those days are done and Trump has now clawed back our $4 billion from the grasping bureaucrats at the climate nations…much to the chagrin of the USAID-funded Politico.
The Trump administration has canceled $4 billion in U.S. pledges to the world’s largest climate fund — gutting a U.N. initiative helping over 100 countries adapt to the rapidly changing world.
“The government of the United States rescinds any outstanding pledges to the Green Climate Fund,” U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio wrote to U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres in a note dated Jan. 27, parts of which were seen by POLITICO.
The climate fund confirmed the decision.
“We have been made aware that the United States of America has notified the United Nations of its decision to rescind outstanding pledges to the Green Climate Fund,” it said in a statement to POLITICO.
The Trump administration has canceled $4 billion in U.S. contribution to the UN’s Green Climate Fund (GCF) which gives taxpayer dollars to foreign nations to help them address “a rapidly changing world.”
This saves each taxpayer $25. That isn’t a lot by itself, but the savings…

That isn’t the only item for review relayed to the United Nations that Trump has on his agenda either. In addition to withdrawing the United States from the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) and ending funding to the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA). Trump also ordered a 90-day pause on US participation in UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization).
The review will assess whether and how UNESCO’s activities serve U.S. interests and will include an analysis of any potential anti-Semitism or anti-Israel sentiment within the organization. The White House cited concerns about “anti-American bias” as a reason for expediting the review.
Our nation withdrew from that group in 2018. I suspect there will be much to find, and our country will decline to participate, especially since Biden’s attempt to rejoin in 2023 came with a $600 million for back dues.
As a reminder, here are some of the past low-lights from the organization we have covered:
- UNESCO’s Exec Board ratifies resolution purging Jewish connection to Temple Mount
- UNESCO attempts to erase Jewish connection to Temple Mount
- Palestinians Launch New Bid to Usurp Jewish Holy Sites via UNESCO
- UNESCO aids and abets Palestinian attempt to steal Jewish historical identity
- UNESCO to Jewish History: Drop Dead
By staying out, the U.S. gets to keep its money, its honor, and its respect for real culture and science.
Meanwhile, I am enjoying the DOGE savings clock tick upward.
@DOGE The D.O.G.E Clock is accumulating savings rapidly! @elonmusk please make this Clock available live here on @X ! pic.twitter.com/u1attxLSka

It saves money and it prevents harm.
Doesn’t technical sound like a claw back, does it?
Y E S !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
p
I believe that Senator Everitt Dirkson once opined that a billion here and a billion there could add up to some real money.
Let’s just see how right he was!
$25 is money for me!
I like to save on lot less, clipping coupons, going for cheaper gas!
Fry’s is now giving me coupons for FREE eggs!
With the present price of eggs, that’s a steal!
Only for government $25 is nothing!
Do you have any idea how much mental anguish this spares teh citizenry from the resulting pass through to the organs of climate propaganda. Algore must be sore angry.
Look for a 𝐏𝐨𝐩-𝐔𝐩 𝐉𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐞© to immediately reverse this.
We will not be sacrificing to Gaia any longer. We do not subscribe to your religion.
In last climate change conference in Baku, last year, the “rich” countries (Deeps State) “negotiated” down the “poor’s” request of over trillion $$$ to “only” $300 billions!
To supposedly help them to copy with the effects of climate change, that the “rich” caused supposedly by the Co2 emissions!
I do not know, how much was the US share, but probably about half of that?!
This $4 billions seems awfully small comparing to the total.
Glad it was canceled!
Does somebody knows, how much was the US share, and how much has Biden already paid?
How much may be still outstanding?
They seemed to be very secretive about that.
BTTT
Yes! Another one for the list!
4 Billion saved from the democrats furnace and their bank accounts.
Another $4 billion.
The debt limit crisis is looking like a myth—rumored to have existed in ancient times.
If these wackadoodle UN “initiatives” crash and burn it will actually help the environment—no more diplomats from over a hundred countries flying all over the world to conference after conference.
yeah
If 4 billion in savings equates to around $25 per taxpayer, then think about the recent comment about a likely trillion dollars in waste/savings...well over $6,000 per taxpayer ?
We’ve been getting fleeced and mugged for years - these pirates should be happy to have DOGE on their trail. If the taxpayers really understood how they’re being reduced to serfs, torch and pitchfork mobs would be a tame representation.

This is a win. Thanks for the ping.
