African Union Urges Trump to Reconsider US Withdrawal From WHO
Jan 23, 2025, 12:27 PM
The African Union Commission (AUC) has expressed disappointment and dismay over the United States' decision to withdraw from the World Health Organization (WHO), announced by President Donald Trump. AUC Chairperson Moussa Faki voiced the concern. The AUC urges Trump to reconsider, highlighting the importance of the U.S. in shaping global health norms and security. The withdrawal is seen as a critical test for Africa's reliance on the WHO, with potential serious consequences for the continent's health systems. Public health experts warn that the U.S. departure could cripple WHO's operations or allow China to assume greater control over the agency. The move may force WHO to address Trump's objections and delve into the origins of COVID-19, while also potentially pushing nations to take more control of their health systems.
