The article discusses the implications of Trump's intention to withdraw the US from the World Health Organization (WHO), a move reminiscent of his earlier decisions. Public health experts believe this action could severely limit the WHO's financial stability and undermine global health initiatives. Trump's history of criticizing the WHO for its management and handling of health crises, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, further complicates the situation. The legal framework surrounding this withdrawal is questioned, as it may violate a 1948 congressional joint resolution requiring proper notice and approval.
The executive order announces the immediate withdrawal from WHO and he's not seeking congressional authorization, and he's also not giving the required one year's notice.
Trump's withdrawal from the WHO poses risks of disease outbreaks worldwide, exacerbating public health crises that need coordinated international responses.
