President Donald Trump is pulling the U.S. out of the World Health Organization for a second time, the White House announced late Monday. The day-one executive order fulfills Trump's campaign promise to reject global institutions.
In his new executive order, Trump directed agencies to“pause the future transfer of any United States Government funds, support, or resources to the WHO” and to“identify credible and transparent United States and international partners to assume necessary activities previously undertaken by the WHO”.
As he signed an executive order, President Donald Trump said that the World Health Organization had "ripped us off."
"Oooh, that's a big one," the newly inaugurated US president said as he approved the document after arriving back at the White House. It was one of dozens of executive actions he put his signature to on day one in office. This marks the second time Trump has ordered the US be pulled out of the WHO.
The World Health Organization said Tuesday it "regrets" US President Donald Trump's decision—just hours after taking power—to withdraw his country from the UN agency, saying it hoped he would reconsider.
