Why is Trump quitting global institutions? | Inside Story

Born from the ashes of World War Two, UNESCO was founded with a bold mission: to build peace through culture, education and science.

They also say it raises questions about the US commitment to global leadership and co-operation. So, what are the real motives behind Washington’s decision? What impact will it have on UNESCO and the broader UN system? And is this part of a wider pattern of US disengagement under President Donald Trump?
