Trump's Team Plans U.S. WHO Withdrawal on January 20, Impacting 16% of Budget
Dec 22, 2024, 10:15 AM
Donald Trump's transition team is reportedly planning to withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization (WHO) on the first day of his new administration, January 20, according to the Financial Times. The move would remove the WHO's largest source of funding, which could impair its ability to respond to global health crises like the coronavirus pandemic. Trump had previously initiated a withdrawal from the WHO in 2020, accusing it of being under China's control, but the process was halted by President Joe Biden upon his inauguration in 2021. The U.S. contributes about 16% of the WHO's budget, and experts like Lawrence Gostin and Ashish Jha warn that a withdrawal could leave a significant gap in global health financing and leadership. Some within Trump's team are said to want to act quickly to symbolically reverse Biden's decision to rejoin the WHO on his first day in office.
