President Donald Trump has ordered the United States to withdraw from the World Health Organization (WHO) as part of his inauguration executive orders. This follows his previous attempts to exit the agency during his first term, which were halted by President Joe Biden. Trump criticized WHO for its handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and its ties to China. Public health experts warn that this withdrawal could leave the U.S. more vulnerable to health threats and reduce its influence in global health policy. The WHO plays a crucial role in managing health emergencies and sharing vital information. Experts emphasize that the U.S. withdrawal may weaken global health efforts and limit access to important data for protecting American citizens.
