President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to start the process of withdrawing the United States from the World Health Organization (WHO).
This is the second time Trump has ordered the US to leave the WHO. He criticized the organization for its handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and claimed that the US was making unfairly large payments compared to other countries. The withdrawal process will take a year to complete, and during this time, the US will stop transferring funds to the WHO and recall its personnel. This decision has sparked concerns among health experts, who warn that it could weaken global health security and the ability to respond to pandemics.
