Donald Trump Signs Order To Cut US' Ties With World Health Organisation
In the first hour of his second presidential term, Donald Trump on Monday signed a raft of executive orders signalling an idiosyncratic turn in US foreign policy that carries forward the new president's vision of an "America first" approach. The President signed an order for the United States to exit the World Health Organization, insisting Washington was unfairly paying more than China into the UN body. According to the order, the US was withdrawing from the organisation due to its "mishandling of the Covid-19 pandemic that arose out of Wuhan, China, and other global health crises, its failure to adopt urgently needed reforms, and its inability to demonstrate independence from the inappropriate political influence of WHO member states."
