The United States has officially withdrawn from the World Health Organization (WHO) as of January 22, marking one year since the formal submission of its withdrawal application to the United Nations. This procedural exit follows an executive order signed by President Trump on January 20 of the previous year. According to WHO regulations, a member state can only withdraw one year after notifying the United Nations. Despite the formal withdrawal, WHO spokesperson Lindmeier emphasized that the United States must settle all outstanding dues to complete the process. The U.S. currently owes approximately $260 million for the years 2024 and 2025, which remains unpaid.
