“World Health ripped us off,” Trump said Monday. “Everybody rips off the United States. It’s not going to happen anymore.”
President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing the US to withdraw from the World Health Organization, a decision that would cut off one of the international aid and disease response group’s largest funding sources.
The order, which was among a flurry of executive actions Trump signed Monday in the Oval Office, says the “WHO continues to demand unfairly onerous payments from the United States, far out of proportion with other countries’ assessed payments,” according to the White House website.
