The likely withdrawal of the US would be a major blow to the WHO, as the US is the organization’s largest financial donor.
Donald Trump’s team plans to withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization (WHO) immediately after the inauguration of the new president. This was reported by the FT on Sunday, December 22.
The move could be officially announced on January 20, according to the Financial Times. The team members have already announced their intentions.
The likely departure would be a major blow to the WHO, as the US is the organization’s largest financial donor. In 2022–2023, the US contribution amounted to approximately 16% of the organization’s total budget.
The loss of this funding could limit WHO’s ability to respond to global crises such as pandemics.
We remind you that Ukraine and its European allies are entering a “critical” few weeks before the inauguration of US President-elect Donald Trump. At stake is not only the sovereignty and independence of Ukraine, but also the long-term security interests of Europe itself.
