The United States has withdrawn from the Group of States Against Corruption (GRECO), a Council of Europe anti-corruption panel, marking a further step back from international organizations. This decision follows a trend of the US reducing its involvement in global groups under the current administration. GRECO monitors adherence to anti-corruption standards in its member states, and the US joined in 1999. American officials cited a focus on domestic priorities and reforms as the reason for leaving the Strasbourg-based body. Critics express concern that the withdrawal weakens international efforts to combat corruption and undermines the US’s commitment to democratic values. The move raises questions about future US engagement with the Council of Europe and its initiatives. This exit builds on past withdrawals from organizations such as UNESCO and the World Health Organization.
