The Trump administration announced Tuesday that the United States will exit the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

State Department Spokesperson Tammy Bruce said in a statement that "continued involvement with UNESCO is not in the national interest of the United States."

"UNESCO works to advance divisive social and cultural causes and maintains an outsized focus on the U.N.’s Sustainable Development Goals, a globalist, ideological agenda for international development at odds with our America First foreign policy," the statement read. "UNESCO’s decision to admit the ‘State of Palestine’ as a Member State is highly problematic, contrary to U.S. policy, and contributed to the proliferation of anti-Israel rhetoric within the organization."

While Trey Hendrickson has still yet to be paid, first-round pick Shemar Stewart remains a holdout due to a rookie contract dispute. 

The reason behind Stewart’s holdout revolves around the language within his deal, but Cincinnati Bengals executive Duke Tobin made himself quite clear about how he feels heading into the start of training camp. 

"I think Shemar needs to be here," Tobin told reporters. "I’m not going to blame Shemar. He is listening to the advice he is paying for. I don’t understand or believe or agree with the advice, but I’m not the one paying for it. If I felt we were treating him unfairly as it relates to all the other draft picks in this year’s draft, then maybe it would be a different story. But we are not. I don’t really understand where things are there."

Stewart, the 17th overall pick back in April, left the final day of mandatory minicamp, where he wasn’t participating in on-field workouts, due to his rookie contract not being signed. 

The Texas A&M product said that he didn’t want to be a distraction to his teammates while his contract dispute was ongoing.

"I’m 100% right," he told reporters at minicamp regarding his contract. "I’m not asking for nothing y’all (the Bengals) have never done before. But in y’all case, y’all just want to win arguments (more) than winning more games."

The Bengals are reportedly trying to change the way their first-round rookie contracts are done, which would allow the team to void future guarantees. Stewart doesn’t feel his contract language needs to be different, with Pro Football Talk pointing out Amarius Mims, the team’s first-round pick last year, not having that language in his deal. 

Stewart was a higher pick than Mims as well. 

Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said he had "good communication" with Stewart before leaving camp.

Bengals owner Mike Brown commented on the situation as well, calling Stewart’s situation "a very peculiar thing."

"It’s not about money. It’s about the guarantee in the case of if he were to do something contrary to the discipline levels of the league," Brown said to reporters. "I don’t think that’s going to happen ever. That’s what’s holding it up. It’s never happened as long as I can remember. 

"His agent wants it to be if he acted in a terrible fashion – this is all hypothetical – something that rises to the level of going to prison, we’d be on the line for the guarantee. 

"If we get a player who does something unacceptable, guess what? I don’t want to pay him."

Bengals training camp begins on July 23.
