The US left UNESCO in the nineteen eighties.

[โ€“] n2burns@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

From the article:

The U.S. and Israel stopped financing UNESCO after it voted to include Palestine as a member state in 2011. The Trump administration decided in 2017 to withdraw from the agency altogether the following year, citing long-running anti-Israel bias and management problems.

So, shared between the Obama & Trump administration. Definitely not in the nineteen eighties.
