    Solution

    The United States announced its withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO) in January 2025. Background • On January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order initiating the United States' withdrawal from the WHO. • This action marked the second attempt by the Trump administration to exit the organization, following a similar move in 2020 that was later reversed by President Joe Biden in 2021. Reasons for Withdrawal • The executive order cited the WHO's alleged mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic, failure to implement necessary reforms, and susceptibility to political influence from member states. • The order also criticized the financial contributions demanded from the U.S., stating they were disproportionately high compared to other countries. Implications • The withdrawal process requires a 12-month notice period, meaning the U.S. is set to officially leave the WHO in January 2026. • During this period, the U.S. plans to halt funding, recall personnel, and seek alternative partners for global health initiatives previously coordinated through the WHO.
