The article emphasizes the importance of the United States maintaining its leadership in global health, particularly in light of President Trump's isolationist tendencies. His recent executive order to withdraw from the World Health Organization and potential tariffs on imported goods threaten the U.S. ability to produce necessary medicines, undermining public health. The article argues that without international cooperation in monitoring and eradicating infectious diseases, Americans’ health is jeopardized. Engaging in global health diplomacy is portrayed as essential for security and economic stability, raising concerns about the repercussions of retreating from global health initiatives.
Infectious diseases know no borders, and protectionist policies are insufficient to ensure national security; therefore, global health leadership is vital for the U.S.
America’s global health initiatives are viewed as smart diplomacy, essential for international security, helping both the U.S. and its global partners.
