The Trump administration joined a fifth anniversary celebration for the so-called “Geneva Consensus Declaration,” an anti-reproductive rights and anti-LGBTQ political statement signed by a group of largely authoritarian governments. President Trump said, in a letter, that he was “proud” to rejoin and would “never waver in protecting the sanctity of every human life.” Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau said that the “international community has no right to tell any country what our policies should be on life and family,” undermining the broad legal basis for reproductive rights as human rights and further emboldening countries to challenge or weaken reproductive rights protections by ignoring international human rights standards.

The US originally joined the “Geneva Consensus Declaration” in 2020 during the first Trump administration. In January 2025, the administration announced it would be rejoining, after the Biden administration had withdrawn the US from the statement.
