Trump Signs Executive Order on First Day to Withdraw US From WHO Over Health Crises
Jan 22, 2025, 12:17 AM
President Donald Trump has initiated the process of withdrawing the United States from the World Health Organization (WHO) through an executive order signed on his first day back in office. The decision cites the agency's mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic and other health crises. The WHO has expressed regret over the decision and hopes for a reconsideration, emphasizing the long-standing partnership with the U.S. in combating health threats, including the eradication of smallpox and efforts against polio. Public health experts warn that the U.S. withdrawal could have a potential impact on global health security, weakening global defenses against disease outbreaks and potentially affecting programs addressing tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, and other health emergencies. The move may also reduce U.S. influence on global health policy and could lead to a financial shortfall for the WHO, which might be compensated by increased contributions from other countries.
