Why is the United States leaving international organizations? | TV shows

There are many signs that the United States is disengaging from the world order established after World War II.

President Donald Trump has ordered his administration to withdraw from more than 60 agencies, half of which are part of the United Nations.

Trump claims that being a member of these organizations is against his country’s interests.

The Secretary of State went so far as to say that they were useless or useless.

The move has sparked global outrage, with the UN saying its “responsibility to act” will not waver.

So where does all this leave the multilateral world order?
