So we can loot and destroy our own UNESCO sites?

Thats the plan, yes. Trump has been wanting to edit the poem on the statue of liberty’s plaque for years and theres a bill in congress now to carve his face on Mt Rushmore. He’s also renaming the Kennedy center to be the “first lady melania trump opera house”, and renaming mt denali in Alaska.

Just another step in destroying the US reputation - maybe they want to drill in Yellowstone, Yosemite and the Grand Canyon.

They elected a pedophile and a convicted felon as president of their country, which has the largest military budget and the second largest nuclear arsenal in the world. Sure, leave UNESCO, leave everything except Israel, both are in the same class of State.

There's plenty of history, all of it revisionist AF.

Its a real shame the UN didnt throw them out on their arse and instead let them walk away on their own. Anyway, bye Felicia.

I bet he asked for Mar A Lago to get heritage site status and they laughed at him so he’s getting revenge by pulling the US out.
