US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to withdraw the US from the World Health Organization (WHO), alongside other orders on his first day in office.

This is not the first time Trump has pulled the US from the WHO; he first withdrew from the WHO in his first term, in addition to halting all funding. This decision was later reversed by former US President Joe Biden. 

The US will most likely remain a WHO member state but impose conditions that the WHO must adhere to, including increased contributions from other member states, oversight of relations between mainland China and the WHO, and changes to policies like the WHO Pandemic Agreement, according to BMI, a unit of Fitch Solutions.
