Trump orders US to leave World Health Organization
Trump orders US to leave World Health Organization
Trump has long been critical of how the Geneva-based institution handled the Covid-19 pandemic.
Summary
Donald Trump signed an executive order to withdraw the US from the World Health Organization (WHO) on his first day back in office.
This marks the second time Trump has initiated this process, citing the WHO's "mishandling of the Covid-19 pandemic," failure to reform, political influence, and "unfairly onerous payments" by the US.
Public health experts warn the move could harm global disease control efforts and US leadership in health innovation.
Under Biden, the US was the WHO's largest funder, contributing nearly 20% of its $6.8 billion budget in 2023.
H5N1 go brrrr
H1Z1
Hehehehe. Sad but true
If it wasn't dead obvious the US is trying to kill its citizens just yet, it should be now
Problem is, bullshit like this also kills people outside the US borders - people who didn't get a vote in this but will be negatively impacted.
The US isn't. Trump and his fanatical followers are.
Because they made him look bad, contradicted him, and kept track of how bad the pandemic got.
It should be wildly apparent that trump hates oversight - anyone keeping track of anything he’s even tangentially involved or interested in - far more so if it makes him look bad.
Also, one of his principles is that ignorance is strength.
War Is Peace. Freedom Is Slavery. Ignorance Is Strength
Well, that's just genius. Between things like this and Brainwormz, it's like he wants lots more Americans to die than the last time he was in charge, where he was the cause of more American death than any other single cause.
He was put in to sabotage the US. Everything he does is to add to the chaos and further weaken legitimate institutions.
Covid 2 electric boogaloo
Darwinism in action. The iq of the world would collectively rise.
6.8 billion annually... Isn't that close to the daily defense budget? And 10 times less than Trumps shitcoin?
It sounds actually cheap, and US only paid 1/5 of that
Can he even do that?
No it should be up to Congress, but executive has been encroaching on legislative and judicial powers for centuries to centralize power under the president to the point now over the last few decades they now use executive orders as short term legislative and judicial changes unrelated to civilian oversight of military, administration of the executive, or veto power over the Senate.
Doesn't matter, it's happening
Oh honey...
Presidents have lots of leeway in how treaties are implemented. Congress can challenge them on that, but they can't micromanage the process.
Obligatory leopards and faces comment.
you know what happened the last time we left the WHO? covid happened.
god forbid what if they spent money actually on health-care instead of AI and crypto.
He is such a baby.
