In one of his first acts as president, Donald Trump issued an executive order withdrawing the U.S. from the World Health Organization (WHO), citing grievances over its handling of COVID-19, “onerous payments,” and a perceived bias toward China. This move, following years of Trump’s criticism of the agency, will disrupt U.S. access to critical global health data and collaborative networks. While supporters applaud the emphasis on sovereignty, public health experts warn that this decision undermines global health security and diminishes America’s leadership in confronting international health crises.
