WHO’s constitution, drafted in New York, doesn’t have a clear exit method for member states. A joint resolution by Congress in 1948 outlined that the U.S. can withdraw with one year's notice. This is contingent, however, on ensuring that its financial obligations to WHO “shall be met in full for the organization’s current fiscal year.”

President Donald Trump signed an executive order that would begin the process of removing the U.S. from the World Health Organization. Here's why.

The United States will leave the World Health Organization, President Donald Trump said on Monday, saying the global health agency had mishandled the COVID-19 pandemic and other international health crises.

Donald Trump's plan to withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization (WHO) has been met with dismay in the public health field.

The U.S. withdrawal from WHO has seismic implications on issues like prevention of future pandemics, and the stakes are especially high for Canada.

Trump initially removed the U.S. from the WHO in 2020, but Biden reversed his action before it went into effect.

Public health experts say the United States’ departure could cripple the WHO’s operations or leave an opening for China to assume greater control over the agency.

One of President Trump’s first executive orders removes the U.S. from the global health organization, which experts say is “cataclysmic.”

It’s a mistake for President Trump to order to the United States to leave the World Health Organization. He should reverse course immediately.

President Trump signed an executive order​ on the first day of his second term, beginning the process of withdrawing the U.S. from the World Health Organization.

Experts have also cautioned that withdrawing from the organization could weaken the world’s defenses against dangerous new outbreaks.
