The United States is set to officially withdraw from the World Health Organization today, it is reported.
The move will affect global health, and it will have a severe impact on millions of people in underdeveloped countries, according to foreign media. The media outlet also said that this decision will have a significant impact on the health of the American people.
President Donald Trump announced on his first day in office in 2025 that the United States would withdraw from the World Health Organization through an executive order.
Under US law, all outstanding dues must be paid before the official withdrawal is made after one year of notice.
However, a US State Department spokesman said that the WHO’s failure to contain, manage and share information has cost the United States trillions of dollars.
