Germany seeks to persuade Trump to reverse WHO withdrawal decision
Germany's Health Minister Karl Lauterbach announced plans to persuade U.S. President Donald Trump to reverse his decision to withdraw from the World Health Organization (WHO). Trump's withdrawal, announced on Monday, cites the WHO's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic as a key reason. Germany is the second-largest donor to the WHO, contributing about 3% of its funding. The WHO expressed hope for a constructive dialogue with the U.S. regarding this decision.
