United States Withdraws From UN Reparations Forum

President Trump signed an executive order on Wednesday withdrawing the United States from the UN Permanent Forum on People of African Descent, officials said. The State Department said the forum promoted race-based policies including a global reparations agenda and positions on climate and AI that conflict with the U.S. Constitution's 14th Amendment. The administration framed the move as rejecting DEI-driven, racially based international initiatives.
