As of President Donald Trump's first day back in office Monday, the United States is leaving the World Health Organization. Some local experts think such a move might leave Spokane and the United States unprepared for the next pandemic.

WHO’s constitution, drafted in New York, doesn’t have a clear exit method for member states. A joint resolution by Congress in 1948 outlined that the U.S. can withdraw with one year's notice. This is contingent, however, on ensuring that its financial obligations to WHO “shall be met in full for the organization’s current fiscal year.”

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

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.

The United States has plans to withdraw from the World Health Organization (WHO), the agency announced Tuesday, right after President Donald Trump signed an executive order formalizing the decision.

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.

This Order directs the United States to withdraw from the World Health Organization (WHO). Additionally, the EO revokes (1) the Presidential Letter

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

President Donald Trump announced Monday he is withdrawing the US from the World Health Organization, a significant move on his first day back in the White House cutting ties with the United Nations’ public health agency and drawing criticism from public health experts.

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.

Donald Trump’s return to the White House is surely more terrifying to millions of Americans than any of the scary scenes from the movie. Amazingly, the man has shown once again that honesty, integrity, character and decency are not necessary to reach our nation’s highest office.
