US State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce officially announced the withdrawal from UNESCO. According to her, continued US membership in the organization "is not in the American interest." She noted that "UNESCO works to promote partisan social and cultural goals, maintains excessive emphasis on the UN's sustainable development goals and on a global and ideological agenda for international development that contradicts our foreign policy - 'America First'."
