Trump Plans U.S. Withdrawal from WHO on January 20, Cutting 16% of Funding
Dec 22, 2024, 04:26 PM
Donald Trump's transition team is reportedly planning to withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization (WHO) on January 20, the day of his inauguration. This move follows Trump's previous attempt to exit the organization in 2020, during which he criticized the WHO for being overly influenced by China. If implemented, the withdrawal would remove the WHO's largest single source of funding, as the U.S. contributed approximately 16% of the organization's budget in 2022-2023. Experts have warned that such a departure could severely impact the WHO's ability to respond to global health crises, including future pandemics. The transition team has indicated that this decision is a priority for the new administration.
