00:00U.S. President Donald Trump has signed an executive order suspending Washington's participation in dozens of U.N. agencies, commissions, and advisory panels focused on climate, labor, migration, and other issues his administration describes as promoting so-called work initiatives.
00:20This means the U.S. will withdraw from 66 international organizations, including the U.N. Climate Treaty Framework, marking the most extensive retreat from global cooperation in U.S. modern history.
00:36According to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the institutions were redundant in their scope, mismanaged, wasteful, and poorly run. Rubio also described the agency's interest as a threat to U.S. sovereignty.
00:52The withdrawal leaves the U.S. as the only country outside the global climate framework.
00:57It also comes as Trump rattles allies and adversaries with military actions.
01:03Trump, who calls climate change a hoax, withdrew from the Paris Agreement shortly after returning to the White House.
