US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to withdraw the US from the World Health Organization (WHO), citing its handling of Covid-19, failure to reform, and perceived political bias. The move, announced on his first day back in office, revives a decision he initiated during his previous term but was reversed by President Biden. The US, which contributed nearly 20% of WHO’s $6.8 billion annual budget in 2023, risks destabilizing the agency’s funding. Trump hinted at a possible return, saying, “We’ll see what happens.”

Under the Biden administration the US continued to be the largest funder of the WHO and in 2023 it contributed almost one-fifth of the agency's budget.
