President Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order withdrawing the U.S. from the United Nations Human Rights Council and from participating in UNRWA, the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday the United Nations has "great potential" but has to "get their act together," as he stopped U.S. engagement with the U.N. Human Rights Council, extended a halt to funding for the Palestinian relief agency UNRWA and ordered a review of the U.

The president also ordered the U.S. to review its ties to UNESCO, and he signed a directive authorizing a ‘maximum pressure’ sanctions regime against Iran.
