Trump Orders Immediate CDC Halt with WHO, Surprising Experts
Jan 27, 2025, 08:51 PM
U.S. public health officials have been instructed to cease all collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO) effective immediately, following an order from the Trump administration. A memo from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) official John Nkengasong directed staff to halt all work with the WHO, both in person and virtually, upending expectations of an extended withdrawal. Experts expressed surprise at the sudden stoppage, warning that it could impede efforts against global health threats such as Marburg virus, mpox, and avian influenza.
