U.S. Withdraws from GRECO Amid Shift in Anti-Corruption Strategy

The U.S. formally notified GRECO of its withdrawal, citing that membership no longer serves U.S. interests and does not provide tangible benefits to national security.
This decision follows a review by the State Department and is part of a broader trend of distancing from international organizations perceived as inefficient.
The U.S. has been a member of GRECO since 2000, and its exit comes as the Council of Europe acknowledges the U.S. as a valuable contributor.
