As he signed an executive order, President Donald Trump said that the World Health Organization had "ripped us off."

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

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.

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.

How America's legacy of combating threats to global health security - including at home in the United States - is at risk.

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.

Public health experts warn that pulling out of WHO, which Trump attacked for its response to COVID-19, will leave Americans more vulnerable to health threats.
