00:00The
00:26United States
00:27has officially pulled out of the World Health Organization.
00:32After a year-long withdrawal process triggered by an executive order from President Donald
00:37Trump, Washington is now out completely.
00:42The move marks a dramatic break with decades of global health cooperation and raises urgent
00:48questions about what comes next for America and for the world.
00:54The Trump administration says the decision is about accountability.
00:58A senior health and human services official accused the WHO of straying from its core mission,
01:06failing on transparency, and mishandling the COVID-19 pandemic.
01:12officials argue the WHO delayed declaring COVID a global emergency and repeatedly acted against
01:19U.S. interests, despite Washington being its largest financial contributor.
01:25According to the United Nations, the U.S. owes more than $270 million in unpaid contributions
01:33for 2024 and 2025.
01:37The administration disputes that obligation, claiming it is not legally bound to pay under
01:43WHO rules.
01:45Trump officials also point out that no American has ever led the WHO, despite decades of U.S.
01:53funding.
01:54The White House insists the U.S. will not retreat from global health.
01:58HHS says it has more than 2,000 staff in 63 countries and plans to continue disease surveillance,
02:07diagnostics, and outbreak response through bilateral partnerships outside the WHO framework.
02:15The WHO says the withdrawal will be reviewed by its executive board next month.
02:21Democratic health experts warned the move could weaken early warning systems for diseases like
02:26Ebola and influenza.
02:29Germs do not respect borders, one U.S. infectious disease leader warned, stressing that global cooperation
02:36saves lives.
02:37For now, the administration says there are no plans to rejoin the WHO, not even as an observer.
02:45Supporters see the move as reclaiming sovereignty.
02:49It makes fear it creates dangerous gaps in global health coordination.
02:53Either way, America's exit redraws the map of global public health, at a time when the
02:59next pandemic may already be forming.
03:15omed important issues change, lots of differences as possible.
