One of President Trump’s first executive orders removes the U.S. from the global health organization, which experts say is “cataclysmic.”

As part of his blitz of executive orders, President Trump delivered on a promise to withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization. The Trump White House accuses the WHO of mishandling the COVID-19 pandemic and bias toward China.

President Donald Trump pulled the U.S. out of the World Health Organization via executive order Monday evening to the shock of some.

Trump initially removed the U.S. from the WHO in 2020, but Biden reversed his action before it went into effect.

WHO’s constitution, drafted in New York, doesn’t have a clear exit method for member states. A joint resolution by Congress in 1948 outlined that the U.S. can withdraw with one year's notice. This is contingent, however, on ensuring that its financial obligations to WHO “shall be met in full for the organization’s current fiscal year.”

The interim director of the World Health Organization’s Department of Epidemic and Pandemic Threat Management responds to a recent critical op-ed published in STAT.

Three days before Trump’s swearing in to office, the US Department of Health and Human Services announced that EcoHealth Alliance and its former president, Dr. Peter Daszak, were cut off of all funding and formally debarred for an unprecedented five years.

Public health experts say U.S. withdrawal from the W.H.O. would undermine the nation’s standing as a global health leader and make it harder to fight the next pandemic.

Amidst global health concerns, WHO calls for the USA to maintain its partnership, highlighting the crucial role it plays in health security worldwide.

Public health experts say there could be massive implications after President Trump signed an executive order withdrawing the U.S. from the World Health Organization.

The US has formally announced its withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO), citing the organization’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, perceived political influences, and financial disparities among member nations.
