WHO Says Reasons Given by US for Withdrawal Are Untrue
WHO disputes US claims of misconduct and obstruction during COVID-19 response, stating the withdrawal reduces global and US safety and urging US to rejoin the organization.
- The World Health Organization issued an expanded statement after the US withdrawal became official, with Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus saying the reasons given by the United States are untrue.
- Citing symbolic and substantive grievances, US State Secretary Marco Rubio and Health Secretary Bobby Kennedy wrote that WHO tarnished US efforts and noted the American flag was later returned to US possession.
- WHO reported it informed governments in early January about pneumonia cases and declared an international public health emergency on January 30, rejecting US claims of obstructing information sharing.
- The WHO warned that the US withdrawal makes both the US and the world less safe and hopes the US will return, citing its significant contributions, including smallpox eradication, according to Tedros.
- The agency recalled the US's founding role in WHO and affirmed it has engaged with the United States and all Member States with full respect for their sovereignty.
