President Trump’s decision to pull out of the international health agency could deprive the United States of crucial scientific data and lessen the country’s influence in setting a global health agenda.

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.

Without funding and participation from the U.S., WHO might struggle to contain disease outbreaks or develop vaccines.

One of President Trump’s first executive orders removes the U.S. from the global health organization, which experts say is “cataclysmic.”

President Trump said Saturday he was weighing possibly rejoining the World Health Organization just days after signing an executive order withdrawing the United States from the international group.

President Donald Trump used one of the executive actions that he issued on his first day back in the White House to begin the process of withdrawing the U.S. from the World Health Organization for the second time in less than five years.

Trump kicked off his first with sweeping changes to U.S. health care. Meanwhile, Change Healthcare cyberattack affected more than half of U.S. population.

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

"The bottom line is that withdrawing from the WHO makes Americans and the world less safe," says Dr. Tom Frieden, president and CEO of the nonprofit health organization Resolve to Save Lives and former director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Trump’s stances toward the U.N. may create openings for China to boost its influence there. It’s not clear that Beijing wants to.

During his 2024 campaign, he vowed to rule on "Day One" as a "dictator," and promised the "most extraordinary first 100 days of any presidency in American history." He would launch a “shock and awe” campaign to enforce his will and remake American society and government in the far-right MAGA movement's desired image.
