A: Hey Hana-chan! Did you hear anything crazy in the news today?

B: Oh, hi Ken-san! Not really. What's up?

A: Well, President Trump… he signed something. It's kind of a big deal.

B: Seriously? What did he do?

A: He’s pulling the US out of a bunch of international groups! Like, sixty-six!

B: Wow! Sixty-six? That’s a lot! Why would he do that?

A: Apparently, he thinks they don't help America anymore. Some of them are part of the UN, you know? Thirty-one, to be exact.

B: Thirty-one! That’s almost half! I thought he’d already pulled out of stuff, right?

A: Yeah! Remember last year, when he said they were leaving the Paris Agreement and the World Health Organization? This is kind of like that, but even bigger.

B: That’s wild. It feels… different, you know?

A: Totally. It’s definitely a change.
