My people, you sabi wetin don happen for dis international matter? Na Trump don dey yenk here again! E don order withdrawal of United States from 66 international organizations wey dey manage serious issues like climate change, human rights, and labor matters. Na wah o!
As the matter be, Trump dey talk say these organizations no dey serve American interest at all. In fact, he call dem ‘wasteful’ and ‘anti-American.’ Na im Secretary of State, Marco Rubio come back am up, dey call these bodies ‘redundant.’ Shey na them just wan waste our money? Na so dem dey think o!
This shocking news come as Trump and him administration don already pull out from big platforms like the World Health Organization and the Paris climate agreement, wetin dey guide global efforts to tackle climate change. If you ask me, na strategic blunder wey go put US for side while rest of the world dey try tackle climate wahala.
The organizations wey Trump talk say he wan withdraw from include prominent bodies like UN Human Rights Council and Environmental groups wey dey push for climate solutions. E no too balanced, abeg. Na only America dey waka alone like this!
Climate experts don raise alarm say this action fit lead to serious consequences for US and global cooperation on climate issue. David Widawsky from the World Resources Institute no carry body, e talk say pulling out go mean sey America no go fit influence efforts to drive vital climate solutions again.
Dey don dey paint am like say America get the power to do anything wey dem like, but truth be say e fit harm our economy and make life tougher for citizens. Other countries dey show concern say US dey throw away opportunity to lead on climate change and help save the world. E no go make sense if we just dey watch while calamities dey happen, right?
Even former adviser for climate, Gina McCarthy, talk say this decision na ’embarrassing.’ E dey clear say this move no dey put America for forefront of global climate leadership again. Na only one country wey no wan join for treaty wey everybody don agree carry, wetin go happen?
Make we talk true, na wetin dis withdrawal go mean for people wey dey depend on these resources? We suppose support organizations wey dey make work easy, but now na reverse dey happen. As dem dey cry foul, we dey op practical things wey affect our future.
Make we see how other nations go respond to this move. E fit shock dem as US dey redefine how we see too many issues wey concern humanity. Na collect plenty organizations dem dey come out from, we go hear plenty wahala as time dey go.
Abeg, make we dey keep eye on di things wey dey happen. E fit concern us directly, and we go continue to dey follow up on how dis situation dey unfold.
