WHO regrets Donald Trump's decision to withdraw US from global health agency
- The World Health Organisation has reacted to President Donald Trump's decision to eliminate US membership of the United Nations health agency.
The article from MSN discusses the World Health Organization's (WHO) regret over former U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw the United States from the WHO in 2020. This move was criticized globally as it occurred during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, a time when international cooperation was crucial. The withdrawal was seen as a significant blow to global health efforts, particularly because the U.S. was the largest financial contributor to the WHO. The article highlights that this decision not only strained the WHO's resources but also potentially weakened the global response to health emergencies. It also notes that President Joe Biden reversed this decision upon taking office in January 2021, rejoining the WHO to restore U.S. leadership in global health. The piece reflects on the implications of such political decisions on international health governance and the importance of the U.S. role in supporting global health initiatives.
