Trump had cut ties with UNHRC during his first tenure: More details revealed

While news about Trump taking measures to withdraw the United States of America from the United Nations Human Rights Council continues to float on social media, it is worth noting that during his first term, Trump withdrew the U.S. from the UN Human Rights Council, also called the UNHRC.

As per NPR, The Biden administration had already paused funding during the Israel-Hamas war after Israel claimed some UNRWA staff had ties to Hamas. However, as per the publication, there has been no evidence of the same.

Furthermore, this has not been the only order allegedly passed by the new President. As soon as he took office, Trump signed many executive orders including an order for immigrants, which allowed him to access more funds for border security. He has also ordered officials to restart construction of the Mexico border wall, though it's unclear how it will be funded.

A new directive denies citizenship to children of migrants who are in the U.S. illegally or on temporary visas, but this is expected to face legal challenges. Trump has labelled drug cartels and international gangs, including MS-13, as foreign terrorist organizations. He has also shut down a Biden-era program that allowed up to 30,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to legally enter the U.S. to reduce illegal crossings.

Additionally, he has suspended the U.S. refugee resettlement program, though specific details remain uncertain. Furthermore, while Trump continues to pass more orders and rules, the news about him breaking ties with the United Nations Human Rights Council has not been confirmed yet.
