World Health Organization: Creating a stir in international relations, the US has once again decided to withdraw from the World Health Organization (WHO). The announcement of this decision by President Donald Trump soon after his swearing-in has raised concerns in the global health community and political circles.

Trump's historic decision

Donald Trump signed an executive order to withdraw the US from the WHO on the very first day of his tenure after taking the oath of office on Monday. The decision appears to be an extension of the policies of his previous tenure, when he criticized the WHO and tried to separate the US from it. However, his successor Joe Biden brought the US back to the WHO, reversing this plan in 2021.

This time Trump has formally written a letter to the United Nations Secretary-General informing him of starting the process of America's withdrawal. This is the second time in five years that the US has ordered to separate from this global organization.

WHO's response and expectations

The WHO issued a statement regretting the decision. The organization said, "The World Health Organization regrets the announcement that the US wants to withdraw from the organization. We hope that the US will reconsider this and we look forward to engaging in constructive dialogue with the US."

The WHO emphasized that it plays an important role in ensuring the health and well-being of people around the world. The organization said that it remains engaged in tasks such as preventing diseases, strengthening health systems and responding to health emergencies in dangerous situations.

America and WHO: An old relationship

As a founding member of the WHO in 1948, the US has played a major role in this global health organization for decades. America's participation in shaping the organization's programs and policies has been remarkable. The US has not only been a major source of economic assistance, but has also been providing its expertise and resources to deal with global health crises.

Trump's criticism and the role of WHO

Donald Trump has long been criticizing the WHO. They claim that the organization has not discharged its responsibilities properly at times and has not worked effectively during some major health crises, especially the COVID-19 pandemic.

However, the WHO distanced itself from this criticism, saying that it is playing an important role in strengthening global health security. According to the WHO, its work is not limited to preventing, detecting and responding to disease outbreaks, but it also works to strengthen health systems and protect the health of every citizen.

Impact on global health

If the US actually separates from the WHO, it will not only affect the budget of the organization but also global health initiatives. The US is a major contributor to the WHO and has a strong influence in its decisions.

This decision can not only weaken global health efforts but can also hinder the provision of essential health services to developing countries. Apart from this, this decision also raises questions about America's global leadership ability and commitment to cooperation.

Conclusion

The US withdrawal from WHO is an important decision not only for the global health community but also for the US. The WHO has expressed hope that the US will reconsider this decision and maintain its role in global health efforts.

At present, the world is concerned about this situation, as in times of health crisis and pandemic, global solidarity and cooperation is needed more than ever. Now it remains to be seen what impact this decision has on global health and international politics.
