Public health experts say the United States’ departure could cripple the WHO’s operations or leave an opening for China to assume greater control over the agency.

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.

Ooh, that’s a big one,” Donald Trump said Monday as he signed an executive order – one of dozens during his first hours as president – to withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization.

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.

Beijing has promised to continue supporting the World Health Organization even after President Donald Trump signed an executive order withdrawing the US.

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 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.

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

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

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.

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.
