Withdrawing the United States From the World Health Organization
Executive Order January 29, 2025

Withdrawing the United States From the World Health Organization

On January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump issued an executive order to withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization (WHO). This decision was based on perceived failures by the WHO, including its handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, lack of necessary reforms, and political influences from member states. The order revokes a previous retraction of the U.S. withdrawal notice and halts U.S. funding and personnel support to the WHO. Additionally, the order calls for the establishment of new mechanisms within the National Security Council to protect public health and biosecurity, and for identifying alternative partners to take over roles previously filled by the WHO.

Withdrawing The United States From The World Health Organization

On January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump issued an order to withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization (WHO). This decision was based on perceived failures by the WHO in handling the COVID-19 pandemic, a lack of necessary reforms, and concerns over disproportionate financial contributions by the U.S. compared to other countries. The order revokes previous actions that re-engaged the U.S. with the WHO and instructs relevant officials to halt funding and reassign personnel involved with the organization. Additionally, the order calls for establishing new structures within the National Security Council to protect public health and biosecurity, and it mandates a review of the U.S. Global Health Security Strategy.
