Withdrawing The United States From The World Health Organization

On January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump announced the United States' withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO), citing dissatisfaction with the organization's handling of global health crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic, and perceived financial inequities. This decision revokes previous executive orders aimed at coordinating U.S. responses to global health issues and halts U.S. funding and personnel support to the WHO. The move could have significant implications for global health collaboration and may face legal and political challenges, particularly regarding the U.S.'s role in international health governance.
