Trump Administration Orders U.S. Health Officials to Immediately Cease Collaboration with WHO
Jan 27, 2025, 08:34 PM
U.S. public health officials have been ordered to immediately cease all collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO), following a directive from the Trump administration. On Sunday, CDC official John Nkengasong sent a memo to senior leaders instructing staff to halt both in-person and virtual engagements with the WHO and not to visit WHO offices. The abrupt cessation of cooperation has surprised many who anticipated a gradual withdrawal process. This decision impacts ongoing efforts against global health threats and follows President Trump's earlier announcement to withdraw the U.S. from the WHO.
