🔹 Today (July 22, 2025), the Government of Donald Trump has once again announced the official withdrawal of the United States from UNESCO, effective December 31, 2026.

🔹 The justification is that UNESCO promotes "divisive" agendas, such as "woke" policies, diversity and inclusion, and a critical stance towards Israel by admitting Palestine.

🔹 The United States now contributes approximately 8% of UNESCO's budget (down from 20% in 2017), which means that the withdrawal will have a limited, although still significant, impact.

🔹 Director-General Audrey Azoulay expressed her regret but assured that the agency was prepared for this eventuality.

In summary: The U.S. confirmed its withdrawal, effective at the end of 2026, citing ideological disagreements; although its financial role is smaller than before, the symbolic effect and the space it leaves for China are relevant.
