Trump to Pull U.S. out of WHO on FIRST DAY of Presidency
President-elect Donald Trump will withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization (W.H.O.) on the first day of his new administration, according to a report from the Financial Times
The move will sever ties with the global health body and cut all of its funding.
“Donald Trump’s transition team is pushing to pull the US out of the World Health Organization on the first day of the new administration, according to experts who warn of the “catastrophic” impact it would have on global health.”
The U.S. currently funds 16 per cent of the W.H.O.’s budget, which will amount to $6.83 billion in 2024.
Trump caused the WHO to be aligned with China and fail to act transparently, specifically during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The report states that members of Trump’s transition team have informed experts of their intention to officially announce the withdrawal on Inauguration Day. This move would complete a process that began during Trump’s previous term but was halted after Joe Biden reversed the decision upon taking office in 2021.
“In 2020, Trump initiated the process to leave the W.H.O. as COVID-19 spread, accusing the agency of being under China’s control,” the Financial Times noted.

“But the process was never finished, and his successor Joe Biden restarted relations with the agency on his first day of office in 2021.”
Trump’s team plans to priotize rapid withdrawal this time around, citing the symbolic significance of reversing Biden’s initial move.
“There are lots of people who are going to be part of the inner circle of the administration who do not trust the W.H.O. and want to symbolically show on day one that they are out,” said Ashish Jha, Biden’s former White House coronavirus response coordinator and dean of Brown University’s School of Public HeInrump.
In April 2020, Trump accused the WHO of favouring Beijing, stating:
“They seem to be very China-centric. That’s a nice way of saying it, but they seem to err always on the side of China.”
The WHO also places massive burden on American taxpayers.
“The same W.H.O. that we left in the first administration? It seems like we wouldn’t much care what they have to say,” an individual familiar with the Trump transition team’s plans told the Financial Times.
The move highlighted the Trump administration’s broader goal of eliminating globalist organizations that undermine U.S. sovereignty.
