Trump signs order for US withdrawal from WHO again, raising global health concerns

President Trump has signed an executive order to withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization (WHO), marking the second time he has initiated this action. This follows his previous attempt during the Covid-19 pandemic, which was reversed by President Biden. The US was the largest contributor to the WHO, providing nearly 20% of its budget in 2023. A withdrawal could significantly impact the organization's finances and its ability to address global health issues. Trump's order cites the WHO's handling of the Covid-19 pandemic and its perceived bias towards China as reasons for the withdrawal. He has expressed that the US may consider rejoining the WHO under certain conditions.
