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 He also rescinded 78 Biden-era directives.

One of President Trump’s first executive orders removes the U.S. from the global health organization, which experts say is “cataclysmic.”
