President Donald J. Trump wasted no time announcing the United States’ immediate withdrawal from the World Health Organization, citing the WHO’s mishandling of the pandemic, its burden of costly payments, and its alignment with the globalist agenda as reasons for cutting ties with the institution.
Trump said the WHO had failed to act independently from the inappropriate political influence of WHO member states and required unfairly onerous payments from the USA that are disproportionate to the sums provided by other, larger countries, such as China.
World Health ripped us off, everybody rips off the United States. It’s not going to happen anymore, Trump said at the signing of an executive order on the withdrawal, shortly after his inauguration to a second term.
Reuters report: The move means the USA will leave the United Nations health agency in 12 months’ time and stop all financial contributions to its work.
The United States is by far the WHO’s biggest financial backer, contributing around 18% of its overall funding. WHO’s most recent two-year budget, for 2024-2025, was $6.8 billion.
The U.S. departure will likely put at risk programs across the organization, according to several experts both inside and outside the WHO, notably those tackling tuberculosis, the world’s biggest infectious disease killer, as well as HIV/AIDS and other health emergencies.
Trump’s order said the administration would cease negotiations on the WHO pandemic treaty while the withdrawal is in progress.
U.S. government personnel working with the WHO will be recalled and reassigned, and the government will look for partners to take over necessary WHO activities, according to the order.
The government will review, rescind, and replace the 2024 U.S. Global Health Security Strategy as soon as practicable, the order says.
The next-largest donors to the WHO are the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, although most of that funding goes to polio eradication, and Bill Gates’ global vaccine group Gavi, followed by the European Commission and the World Bank.

The population of the USA is approx = 350 million so 45 %= nearly 160 million who cant afford health care – who cant afford the expensive drugs sold by Big Pharma and die from being poor if suffering from serious illness . Even if you collapse in the street the first thing they ask you at hospital reception is –“can you pay ” ?? if not you are whisked off to an underfunded hospital where facilities are basic ,you still pay just not as much –even if you have medical insurance it only covers 80-90 % .

Good move, the WHO is a terrorist organization. Gates Schwab Soros and others gangsters must not be happy, but who cares, f*çk the criminal globalist cabal.
Almost 10 million Migrants are needed as low paid slaves (*agriculture, construction. hotels and restaurants) for the corporate gangsters to rake in huge taxpayers financed profits.
Now economic refugees are also guided in to become militant assassins, because the US Army will not shoot and kill their own citizens, so mercenaries are the best option for the elite to complete their evil agenda.
That’s a very big blow for those criminals! Now i hope Trump will exit from UN and NATO too. This will give a fatal blow to their criminal activities.
I agree.
