Trump completes US withdrawal from World Health Organization after Biden's reversal

abcnews.go.com

President Donald Trump has officially withdrawn the United States from the World Health Organization (WHO), completing a process he began in 2020. This move comes after President Biden reversed Trump's initial withdrawal before it took effect. Trump's executive order cites unfair financial demands on the U.S. compared to other countries, particularly China. The U.S. is the largest contributor to the WHO, which plays a key role in global health initiatives. The withdrawal process will take a year, but Trump is expected to disengage from the WHO immediately. Without bipartisan support in Congress to reverse this decision, the U.S. will officially exit the organization by 2026.
