US to leave World Health Organization on Jan. 22, 2026, says UN

SUMMARY:
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.
Trump announced the move on Monday, hours after he was sworn in for a second four-year term. The WHO said on Tuesday that it regretted the move from its top donor country.
Trump must give a one-year notice of U.S. withdrawal from the Geneva-based body and pay Washington’s dues under a 1948 joint resolution of the U.S. Congress.
The United States is by far the WHO’s biggest financial backer, contributing around 18% of its overall funding. WHO’s most recent two-year budget, for 2024-2025, was $6.8 billion. It was not immediately clear how much the U.S. owes.
The U.S. departure will likely put at risk programs across the organization, according to several experts inside and outside the WHO, notably those tackling tuberculosis, the world’s biggest infectious disease killer, as well as HIV/AIDS and other health emergencies.
The withdrawal order signed by Trump said the administration would cease negotiations on the WHO pandemic treaty while the withdrawal is in progress. U.S. government personnel working with the WHO will be recalled and reassigned, and the government will look for partners to take over necessary WHO activities, according to the order.
Trump’s withdrawal from the WHO was not unexpected..."

COMMENT:
Yet more reasons why I continue to mask. I guess we in the US won't be forewarned, kept up to date or informed by the WHO who gave us explicit warnings about the risks of the COVID-19 outbreak when it first evolved on the scene...
Good thing this site Data Report Info still exists that we can peruse and contribute to... a site packed with important studies, archives and data that can be used pragmatically and pertains to the condition of peoples and the world at large. Data Report Info is informative, educational , and even thought provoking , so we can assume there is still hope and still some form of intelligent life form here on earth amongst us outside and regardless of the White House, currently speaking of course.
I'm leafing around at other sites about viruses and the human condition at large and quite frankly nothing beats Data Report info in regards to the way it is outlined and easily navigable. At this site I see things all spread out and I can see the whole of the matter. The other sites are specialized and valuable but not always easy for the layperson to read nor do they allow one to contemplate all the archives and challenges humankind faces 'all at once' like Data Report Info does. Here at Data Report Info site everything is spread out before us... The 'whole of the matter containing all its parts..the human conditions and the conditions we face worldwide is all spread out for me and it helps me see everything with clarity.
