U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration rejected a UN agriculture declaration on July 23 because it promoted “divisive social policies.” The version of the document seen by POLITICO denounces “new laws” and “regulatory frameworks” that it says endanger free speech around the globe in “historically democratic countries.” It is not clear to what extent the UN itself will be involved in adopting this proposed declaration. The Trump administration’s proposal is in response to the European Union’s Digital Services Act, an EU law enacted in 2022 that regulates online platforms and threatens free speech online. The Real SolutionAlthough the Trump administration has been promoting conservative policies in these instances, it should focus on restoring U.S. sovereignty by getting out of the UN and other international organizations, instead of trying to work through the UN system.
