US President Donald Trump has recently announced he is withdrawing the US from the World Health Organization on his first day back in the White House.
President Trump has long been critical of the United Nations’ health agency, and his administration formally began a withdrawal from the WHO in July 2020.
However, four years ago, former President Joe Biden halted the US’ exit from the body tasked with coordinating the international response to health emergencies in one of his first actions after taking over the White House.

Point to note; it takes a year to fully withdraw from the body, and there is an obligation for the US to continue funding it for a year.
Trump has also ordered an end to certain policies aimed at promoting racial equity and protecting rights for LGBTQ+ people.
This he ordered on Monday 20th January 2025 as soon as he became the President of the United States of America.
According to Trump, there will only be recognition of only two sexes, male and female in the US.
‘We will forge a society that is color blind and merit-based……As of today. it will henceforth be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders, male and female.”
