The United States will leave the World Health Organization on Jan. 22, 2026, the United Nations said on Thursday, after being formally notified of the decision by President Donald Trump, who has accused the agency of mishandling the pandemic and other international health crises.

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.

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

The UN body has received a formal request from Washington to withdraw next year as Trump orders a pause on WHO funding.

The World Health Organization called on the US to reconsider a decision to leave the agency, suggesting the move could undermine global health security.

A health organization created in the wake of World War II to fight disease across the planet is losing its biggest donor, the United States.

WHO combats diseases, aids crises, and embraces AI for global health. By 2025, aims: 1 billion with health coverage.

Donald Trump's decision will have an even greater impact on the WHO, as the US is the main funder of the UN organization. This situation is likely to complicate many health policies, including the fight against future pandemics.

The United States has plans to withdraw from the World Health Organization (WHO), the agency announced Tuesday, right after President Donald Trump signed an executive order formalizing the decision.

The United States will leave the World Health Organization, President Donald Trump said on Monday, saying the global health agency had mishandled the COVID-19 pandemic and other international health crises.

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

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.
