US reportedly requests to rejoin UNESCO in reversal of Trump administration withdrawal

The Deputy Secretary of State Richard Verma sent a letter to the U.N. organization on June 8 that is presumed to contain a plan of how the country will come back on as a voting member, according to a source cited by Then-President Donald Trump withdrew from the organization in 2017 because of its " President Ronald Reagan was the first to announce U.S. withdrawal in 1983, followed by Margaret Thatcher’s United Kingdom. Then, President George W. Bush reentered in 2003, and the country paid its dues to remain a voting member until 2011. Once the debts collected between 2011 and 2017 are paid, it will cost the U.S. roughly $100 million a year to remain a voting member.

When I was told, “That would be right,” it wasn’t a use of the conditional as I first understood it, but somehow a gentler way of telling me something was correct. I learned to love local turns of phrase, like “yes, please,” which was doled out in situations where a simple affirmative just wouldn’t do.“Is the restroom over there?” “Yes, please!”“Are you Bob?” “Yes, please!” “ ... But, ARE you Bob?”Now back in my adoptive home of Mexico, I’ve finished writing my stories from Barbados, one of which you can read in today’s Daily about the innovative and growing sport of road tennis.
