Trump launches a 'Board of Peace' and withdraws the US from dozens of UN bodies

Trump has launched a new international group called the 'Board of Peace,' which he chairs. Many headlines describe it as a potential rival to the United Nations, though Trump has also said the UN should continue its work.

At the same time, Trump has signed an order withdrawing the United States from dozens of international organizations, including 31 within the UN system. The UN has stated the US has a legal obligation to fund its agencies, and the withdrawals have contributed to a cash crisis for the world body.
