Trump signs order for US withdrawal from World Health Organization
bbc.com —
US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization (WHO). This action follows his previous attempt to leave the organization during the Covid-19 pandemic, which was reversed by President Joe Biden. Trump criticized the WHO for its handling of the pandemic and stated that the US was leaving due to the organization's failures and political influences. He also mentioned concerns about the financial contributions the US makes to the WHO. This marks a significant shift as Trump resumes the withdrawal process on his first day in office, increasing the likelihood of a formal exit from the global health agency.
