This decision, confirmed by the United Nations, follows a formal notification from President Donald Trump, who has criticized the WHO for its handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and other international health crises.

The WHO has expressed regret over the decision, emphasizing the importance of U.S. involvement in global health initiatives. The future of international health cooperation remains uncertain as the world awaits further developments.
