According to CCTV News, Trump signed an executive order in January 2025 announcing the United States' withdrawal from the World Health Organization. The United Nations received notification that month, and according to the WHO constitution, the formal withdrawal process would be completed on January 22, 2026, one year later. A WHO spokesperson stated that while the United States has the right to withdraw, it must settle its outstanding membership fees, which currently include approximately $260 million for the years 2024 and 2025, a matter that has been included in the agenda for the WHO Executive Board meeting.
