So he sent them a letter 11 days ago --- giving them 30 days to respond to his concerns and then because he's trying to divert from COVID, racial tension -- he announces today USA is leaving WHO.
Nothing like divisive, sound leadership -- nothing like it here in the USA right now.
I cannot wait until Trump is out of the White House. He makes enemies everywhere he goes. First it was our allies, now it's the WHO. He does't think he has any responsibility for any of this and is looking for someone to blame. I feel sorry for future presidents having to clean up Trump's mess.
Trump's supporters will applaud this as they do everything he does, but it's not a good thing. Turning the country isolationist helps no one but Trump's ego.
I'm not a Trump fan, but good. They were not very useful or reliable, plus they have their hands in the pockets of some questionable people.
You're able to form an opinion about the usefulness or reliability of the WHO because of what specific knowledge or experience that you possess?

Exactly! This will be a huge mistake. Trump is attempting to deflect blame from himself by blaming everyone else, rather than accept the blame he deserves. The truth is the WHO is staffed by many Americans. More than a dozen U.S. researchers, physicians and public health experts, many of them from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, were working full time at the Geneva headquarters of the World Health Organization as Covid-19 emerged late last year and transmitted real-time information about its discovery and spread in China to the Trump administration. They may not have been perfect in how they handled the initial reports of the pandemic, but the world needs them now more than ever. All you have to do is look at the growing number of cases in places like Brazil, Mexico, Ecuador, Peru, India, Pakistan, and Indonesia.

You're goddamned right we will applaud this. YOUR President is putting US Citizen and US taxpayers first...That's what he was hired to do!
No need to pay 500 million each year to an org that does not serve the interest of United States.
