President Donald Trump announced on Monday that the United States will leave the World Health Organization (WHO).
Trump cited the agency's alleged mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic and other international health crises as key reasons for the decision. He also argued that the U.S. is unfairly contributing more than other countries, particularly China.
"World Health ripped us off, everybody rips off the United States. It's not going to happen anymore," Trump said.
This marks the second attempt in 2020 by Trump to withdraw from the organization, after previously accusing the WHO of aiding China in misleading the world about the origins of COVID-19, a claim that the WHO denies.
