If they don’t like the UN, maybe they should also give up their seat and their veto power on the security council?
17 are EU-based.
It’s notable that the UN was formed in San Francisco, and is headquartered in New York City.
The White House has become so untrustworthy that you can’t even believe that.
Believe what exactly?
The announcement. The source here is the official website of the white house. So you can’t trust this list unless the organizations mentioned confirm it.
Is there any discussion (anywhere!) on what this might imply for these Europe-based international organisations (funding, staffing, projects)?
Many of these organisations, also funded by the EU or EU member states (17 are EU-based), are now suddenly in serious financial disarray. I doubt that the EU will react and these organisations are too small and too institutional to react much themselves. I know a couple of them (besides the IPCC, which we all know) and can confirm that they do great work.

IPCC … they withdraw from IPCC … sure, why not, wt$#&#&#@@$$$#&#&
Stephen Miller’s serpentine paws all over this one
I know, but my intention was not to have a debate on Stephen Miller (on which I have much to say but this is not the forum), but on the implications in Europe for this Europe-based international organisations. Nobody has written about this so far.

They really want to replenish the lead generation.
I have seen it pointed out that some of these 66 agencies are really platforms, treaties and commissions, not organisations. Is there an analysis of this?
