On Monday, President Trump announced the U.S. withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO), a move that public health experts warn could severely weaken the country's position as a leader in global health and complicate responses to future pandemics. This decision follows years of Trump's criticism of the WHO, particularly regarding its handling of the coronavirus pandemic. Experts contend that the departure would limit the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's access to critical global health data. Furthermore, some Republicans perceive WHO's pandemic treaty negotiations as infringements on U.S. sovereignty.
President Trump's withdrawal from the WHO will undermine U.S. global health leadership and hinder efforts to combat future pandemics, say public health experts.
