Trump orders US exit from the World Health Organization
- U.S. President Donald Trump has ordered the country to withdraw from the World Health Organization for the second time in less than five years, a move that many scientists fear could roll back progress in fighting diseases like AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis.
- Experts warn that the U.S. Exit from WHO could weaken global defenses against new outbreaks that may lead to pandemics, as stated by Lawrence Gostin, Director of the WHO Collaborating Center on Global Health Law.
- Trump's executive order cited the WHO's mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic and its failure to adopt necessary reforms as reasons for the withdrawal, which could cripple global health initiatives reliant on U.S. Funding.
- WHO expressed regret over Trump's announcement and hopes the U.S. Will reconsider, emphasizing the importance of U.S. Contributions to global health security since its founding in 1948.
