The United States rejoins the Geneva Consensus Declaration. On the fifth day of its second term, the administration of Donald Trump made official the return of his country to the international coalition that promotes women’s health, the defense of life in all its stages, the integrity of the family and the sovereignty of nations.

Through a diplomatic note signed this Friday, January 24, the United States Mission to the United Nations informed its renewed adherence to the Consensus expressing the Trump administration’s commitment “to the promotion of women’s health and the preservation of family values.”

The initiative was launched in 2020, originally promoted by the United States, Hungary, Egypt, Brazil, Indonesia and Uganda. President Joe Biden withdrew the United States from the coalition in January 2021. With the rejoining of the U.S., the alliance reaches 40 member countries.

The Declaration has proven to be an effective diplomatic tool for governments to resist pressures exerted by international organizations to, for example, impose abortion as a so-called “right” or introduce regulations that violate the family.

Valerie Huber, president of the Institute for Women’s Health, the lead sponsor of the coalition, congratulated President Trump “for his courageous leadership and for keeping his promise to rejoin” the initiative he helped found.

“This is a defining moment for the advancement of women’s authentic health, national sovereignty, and the fight against ideological colonialism […] This decisive action will restore America’s leadership in global health diplomacy, empowering nations to prioritize women’s health over divisive political agendas,” she said.
