Good riddance to the World Health Organization — more aptly called the Woke Health Oligarchy. On his first day, President Trump withdrew the United States from WHO, a necessary step in putting the health of Americans first.

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.

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

The United States will leave the World Health Organization, President Donald Trump said on Monday, saying the global health agency had mishandled the COVID-19 pandemic and other international health crises.

As part of his blitz of executive orders, President Trump delivered on a promise to withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization. The Trump White House accuses the WHO of mishandling the COVID-19 pandemic and bias toward China.

The World Health Organization said in January 2025 that China's reported levels of acute respiratory infections, including those caused by the flu-like virus HMPV, were "within the expected range" for winter.

China on Tuesday vowed to support the World Health Organization after President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing the United States to withdraw from the body, which he has slammed over its handling of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The World Health Organization will cut costs and review which health programmes to prioritise after the U.S. announced its exit, its chief told staff in an internal memo seen by Reuters.

It’s a mistake for President Trump to order to the United States to leave the World Health Organization. He should reverse course immediately.
