President Donald Trump’s decision to exit the World Health Organization means the U.N. agency is losing its biggest funder.

More than half of Americans believe the U.S. benefits from its membership in the WHO. As of April 2024, 25% of U.S. adults say the country benefits a great deal from its membership, while about one third say it benefits a fair amount. Conversely, 38% say the U.S. does not benefit much or at all from WHO membership.

The World Health Organization is shaped by its members: 194 countries that set health priorities and make agreements about how to share critical data, treatments, and vaccines during international emergencies.

Staff at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have been told to halt all communication with the World Health Organization.

World Health Organization chief says agency already cutting back on hiring and travel with Trump withdrawal set to hit funding.

In a day-one executive order, President Donald Trump withdrew the U.S. from the World Health Organization for a second time.

President Donald Trump said on Saturday he may consider rejoining the World Health Organization, days after ordering a U.S. exit from the global health agency over what he described as a mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic and other international health crises.

The U.S. has traditionally been the most generous benefactor of the WHO. A Trump executive order to cut ties with the WHO could pose a threat to global public health.

Public health experts say the United States’ departure could cripple the WHO’s operations or leave an opening for China to assume greater control over the agency.
