President Donald Trump wasted no time taking action in his second term, signing an executive order on Day One to withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization (WHO). This decisive move ends billions in U.S. funding for a globalist entity that failed America during the COVID-19 pandemic and has been far too cozy with China.
No More Blank Checks for the WHO
Trump’s executive order immediately halted U.S. payments to the WHO, citing its mishandling of COVID-19, bias toward the Chinese Communist Party, and failure to implement critical reforms. The withdrawal process, which requires a one-year notice, also mandates that the U.S. fulfill its financial obligations for the current fiscal year.
For decades, the United States has been the WHO’s biggest donor, contributing $1.28 billion in 2022-2023 and expected to funnel nearly $988 million in 2024-2025—a staggering amount compared to other nations. Meanwhile, China, with four times the U.S. population, contributes nearly 90 percent less.
WHO in Crisis Mode as Trump Pulls the Plug
Without U.S. funding, the WHO is in financial freefall. Internal documents reveal that American contributions cover up to 95% of WHO’s tuberculosis efforts in Europe and 40% of its emergency operations worldwide.
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, a known Beijing loyalist, is now scrambling to keep his organization afloat. He pleaded with world leaders to pressure Trump into reversing his decision, claiming the U.S. would miss out on critical disease outbreak intelligence.
But the Trump administration isn’t buying it. The CDC has already ordered its employees to cut all ties with the WHO, barring them from meetings, collaborations, and even visiting WHO offices.
Trump Fulfills His Promise—Again
This is Trump’s second attempt to sever ties with the WHO. In 2020, he began the withdrawal process after the agency parroted Chinese Communist Party propaganda and ignored Taiwan’s early warnings about COVID-19’s spread in Wuhan.
A recent House Oversight Committee report called the WHO’s handling of COVID-19 an “abject failure,” accusing the agency of placing China’s political interests ahead of public health.
The lesson was clear: America cannot trust a corrupt, globalist health bureaucracy. Trump’s decision ensures that U.S. taxpayer dollars no longer prop up an organization that bends the knee to China.
What’s Next?
With the U.S. officially exiting the WHO, expect more globalist institutions to face scrutiny under Trump’s America First agenda. No more blank checks. No more foreign bureaucrats making decisions for America.
This move sends a loud and clear message—under Trump, the United States puts American sovereignty first.
