Trump starts U.S. withdrawal from World Health Organization

Trump starts U.S. withdrawal from World Health Organization

President Trump’s decision to withdraw from the World Health Organization (WHO) has sparked concerns among global health experts. This move is feared to cripple the agency and weaken international health security, both in the United States and around the world.

The withdrawal of the United States, the WHO’s biggest funder, would result in a significant loss of financial support and scientific expertise. This would likely force the agency to undergo a major reorganization and limit its ability to carry out crucial functions.

The initial intent to withdraw from the WHO was announced during the previous Trump administration, citing the agency’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the Biden administration rescinded the withdrawal notice on its first day in office.

In a surprising move, the incoming administration under President Trump announced its intention to withdraw from the WHO, signaling a shift in policy. This decision was accompanied by other controversial actions, including pardoning individuals involved in the Capitol riot and calling for an end to birthright citizenship.

President Trump reiterated the reasons for the withdrawal, citing the WHO’s mishandling of the pandemic, lack of reforms, and alleged political influence from member states. He also criticized the unequal financial contributions demanded from the US compared to other nations.

Global health experts, including Tom Bollyky from the Council on Foreign Relations, have condemned the decision to withdraw from the WHO. Bollyky emphasized the vital role the WHO plays in global outbreak response and expressed concerns about the impact of the US withdrawal on future health crises.

Despite the withdrawal threat, some experts speculate that this may be a bargaining tactic to push for reforms within the WHO. These reforms could include addressing financial contributions, enhancing transparency, and pressuring China to disclose information about the origins of the pandemic.

If the US follows through with the withdrawal, it would be the first time a member state has left the WHO since its establishment in 1948. The process outlined in the joint resolution of Congress requires a one-year notice and settlement of any outstanding dues before officially leaving the organization.

Lawrence Gostin, a global health law professor at Georgetown University, warned that a US withdrawal would be a strategic mistake. He highlighted the implications of not being part of crucial decisions and negotiations, such as the upcoming pandemic treaty.

The situation continues to evolve, and updates on the US withdrawal from the WHO will be provided as more information becomes available.
