Trump signs order for US withdrawal from World Health Organization over pandemic response

theguardian.com — January 21, 2025 at 04:02 AM UTC

Donald Trump has signed an order for the United States to withdraw from the World Health Organization (WHO) over its handling of the Covid-19 pandemic. The exit will take effect in 12 months, halting US financial contributions. The US is the largest financial supporter of the WHO, contributing about 18% of its budget. Trump's order also pauses foreign development assistance for 90 days for review. This decision follows Trump's previous attempts to leave the WHO in 2020, citing concerns about the agency's independence and its relationship with China. The WHO has denied allegations of misconduct.
