“President Trump has decided to withdraw the United States from UNESCO – which supports woke, divisive cultural and social causes that are totally out-of-step with the commonsense policies that Americans voted for in November,” White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said. “This President will always put America First and ensure our country’s membership in all international organizations aligns with our national interests.”
