WHO Regrets Trump's Executive Order to Withdraw U.S., Calls for Reconsideration
Jan 21, 2025, 01:35 PM
The World Health Organization (WHO) has expressed regret over the decision by U.S. President Donald Trump to withdraw the United States from the organization. This announcement was made shortly after Trump's inauguration for his second term, where he signed an executive order to initiate the withdrawal process. The WHO, through its Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and spokesperson Tarik Jasarevic, emphasized the organization's crucial role in global health security, including protecting Americans. The WHO hopes that the U.S. will reconsider its decision and engage in constructive dialogue to maintain the partnership, which has been vital for over seven decades in addressing global health threats such as smallpox and polio.
