President Trump Withdraws U.S. from World Health Organization

On Monday, President Donald Trump officially announced that the United States would be withdrawing from the World Health Organization (WHO).

He criticized the organization, saying that the WHO had "ripped off" the U.S.

The U.S. is the largest financial contributor to the WHO, which plays a key role in monitoring disease outbreaks worldwide.

The country also works closely with the WHO on important health issues, including cancer prevention and global health security, through partnerships with agencies like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
