U.S. seeks to rejoin UNESCO after Trump-era exit.

The United States has requested to rejoin UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, several years after exiting the body due to perceived anti-Israel bias and financial concerns. Congress agreed last year that the US could make financial contributions to UNESCO, and the group said in December that the country could return as a member, though the proposed plan must be approved by member states. This is not the first time the US has pulled out of UNESCO only to rejoin later.
