Media in the UK: The United States has formally withdrawn from the World Health Organization (WHO), which was caused by an executive order signed by President Trump a year ago, as he believed that WHO was too "pro-China".
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services stated that WHO failed to handle the epidemic properly, could not be reformed and was influenced by political factors of its member states. WHO Director-General Tedros said that the withdrawal of the United States is a loss for both the United States and the world. The United States has not paid its fees for 2024 and 2025, leading to large-scale layoffs at WHO.
The United States claims it will establish bilateral relations with other countries to ensure disease monitoring and pathogen sharing, but has not revealed specific countries. The United States also said it would cooperate with non-governmental organizations and religious groups to continue fighting against polio and AIDS, but has not provided specific details.
