Trump withdraws US from World Health Organization raising global health concerns
President Donald Trump is withdrawing the US from the World Health Organization (WHO), which raises concerns about the agency's ability to combat global health issues without its largest financial supporter. The US contributes about 18% of WHO's funding. The US has been a major donor to global health initiatives, financing significant portions of programs for HIV and tuberculosis. Trump's decision may lead to further cuts in international health contributions and halt US negotiations on a pandemic treaty. Additionally, US personnel working with the WHO will be recalled. The impact of this withdrawal on global health efforts and US funding for other health programs remains uncertain.
