This is the second time Trump tried to withdraw from WHO, with the first attempt in July 2020 at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Trump signed a slew of executive orders that initiated the US withdrawal from the Paris climate accords and WHO, ordered troops to the border with Mexico, pardoned about 1,500 January 6 rioters and restarted permitting for natural gas export terminals. He also rescinded 78 Biden-era directives.

Ooh, that’s a big one,” Donald Trump said Monday as he signed an executive order – one of dozens during his first hours as president – to withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization.
