The United States has formally requested to withdraw from the World Health Organization (WHO), with the withdrawal set to take effect in January 2026. This move was initiated by President Trump on his first day in office. In addition to the withdrawal, Trump has ordered a pause on US funding and the recall of personnel involved with the WHO, which significantly relies on US contributions for its operations. Experts warn that this could severely hinder the WHO’s ability to combat global health crises, from infectious diseases to pandemics.
The US, under President Trump, officially set in motion its withdrawal from the World Health Organization, which will take effect in January 2026.
With the US withdrawing, the WHO is set to lose its largest financial contributor, amounting to 18% of the organization's funding.
