World Health Organization chief says agency already cutting back on hiring and travel with Trump withdrawal set to hit funding.
President Donald Trump has used one of the flurry of executive actions that he issued on his first day back in the White House to begin the process of withdrawing the U.S. from the World Health Organi
President Donald Trump announced Monday he is withdrawing the US from the World Health Organization, a significant move on his first day back in the White House cutting ties with the United Nations’ public health agency and drawing criticism from public health experts.
Trump initially removed the U.S. from the WHO in 2020, but Biden reversed his action before it went into effect.
As he signed an executive order, President Donald Trump said that the World Health Organization had "ripped us off."
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.
The U.S. has traditionally been the most generous benefactor of the WHO. A Trump executive order to cut ties with the WHO could pose a threat to global public health.
The World Health Organization called on the US to reconsider a decision to leave the agency, suggesting the move could undermine global health security.

One of President Trump’s first executive orders removes the U.S. from the global health organization, which experts say is “cataclysmic.”
Experts have also cautioned that withdrawing from the organization could weaken the world’s defenses against dangerous new outbreaks.
