Abstract: This article analyzes considerations that are likely to inform the decision-making process of the second Trump administration (the Administration) in the case of multilateral development banks (MDBs) and the United Nations (UN) System. The MDBs and the UN System are related because several MDBs—International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), International Development Association (IDA), and International Finance Corporation (IFC), all of which are World Bank Group (WBG) members—are parts of the UN System. The United States (US) is the largest shareholder of Asian Development Bank (ADB), European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), IBRD, IDA, IFC, Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), and Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA), and it is the largest contributor to the UN System.
