[quote=Anonymous]Been pondering the same options as you OP (world Bank staff here). Project 2025 is a bit unclear between full withdrawal and saying the US needs to demand more US staff and influence the agenda more.

No way we will get out of this mostly unscathed as we did during the first trump administration. They have already officially called for review of US engagement in all MDBs. And with Vought now in charge of budget the project 2025 plans should be considered as default option.

A month ago I would have said withdrawal was too crazy to be considered by Trump. Now obviously I think it is a likely option (and in that case as you pointed out we will all have to move to another country, which will be a hit for the DMV). And I think, but not entirely sure, that us citizens will have to resign/ be let go as you can’t have staff from non-member countries.

My current bet is that they will threaten withdrawal and use that leverage to make outrageous demands on the 2 organizations in terms of agenda, alignement with US policies, staff cuts etc.. with a big emphasis on cutting off China and eliminating climate, gender and equity out of our vocabulary.

And under that second option I still think our jobs aren’t safe. [/quote]
