The Trump administration has formally withdrawn the United States from the Group of States against Corruption (GRECO), a Council of Europe anti-corruption monitoring body, notifying the Strasbourg-based organization on Monday. The move is part of a broader effort by the administration to pull back from international and multilateral organizations it considers inefficient, overreaching or out of step with US priorities. A State Department spokesperson said the decision followed a review and concluded that membership, which carries an annual financial contribution, does not provide tangible benefits to US national security, adding that ‘the era of writing blank checks to international bureaucracies is over.’ The Council of Europe said the US had been a valuable contributor since joining GRECO in 2000. Only Russia and Belarus had previously left the body.
