President Trump Mandates Exiting the World Health Organization
Yesterday, after the formal inauguration, President Trump signed about 200 Executive Orders which do not need approval from Congress. Among the more important ones, literally about 8 hours after his inauguration, is the one mandating the United States exit the World Health Organization (WHO). He has also signed an Executive Order to immediately stop the inhumane WOKE agenda.

“Secretary of State, Mark Rubio, shall immediately inform the Secretary-General of the United Nations and the leadership of the WHO of the United States’ withdrawal from the WHO.” – President Trump
The main reason Mr. Trump gave for exiting WHO was the horrendous mishandling of the Covid-19 pandemic and other international health crises. Without saying so in direct words, President Trump was likely referring to the infamous Pandemic Treaty and the related newly revised International Health Regulations (IHR) which were being forced upon all 194 WHO member countries. A health tyranny depriving autonomous nations from their health sovereignty.
Mr. Trump also said the WHO had failed to act independently from the “inappropriate political influence of WHO member states” and required “unfairly onerous payments” from the U.S. that were disproportionate to the sums provided by other larger countries such as China.
He referred to an enormous imbalance with China which has four times more inhabitants than the US, but pays only about one-third of the US amount. This is not quite correct.
Member contributions to UN agencies, including WHO, are based on a complex economic formula, including on GDP and other wealth indicators. The chart below indicates current contribution levels. The US is by far the largest member-country backer, paying 22% towards the official WHO budget of US$6.8 billion for the 2024-2025 period, and China about 15%.
In the case of WHO, the official budget (member-country contributions) becomes almost irrelevant, considering that up 87% of WHO’s total budget (money available) comes from private sources, such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Big Pharma, especially GAVI – the Vaccination Association (some 20 pharma corporations), which has their offices basically across the street from WHO, IT tech-companies, and other interested industries.
These private influences are a blatant conflict of interest and may also have been a reason for President Trump’s decision to exit the WHO which makes believe it works for the public interest, when in fact it is bound to represent the interests of its private donors and sponsors.
Back to the Pandemic Treaty and the revised IHR. Since they never passed the mandatory vote of the World Health Assembly – not in May 2023 nor in May 2024 – the case was delegated to the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in September 2024. September 20 and 21, 2024 were reserved for a semi-clandestine debate on the Pandemic Treaty and the new IHR. Since no consensus could be reached, the UNGA decided on a well-known, treacherous, and undemocratic procedure of “approval” by non-objection.
None of the 193 UN members dared objecting. So, the new IHR, which incorporates the basic criteria of the Pandemic Treaty, was pushed through as a Pact. A pact, while legally binding, has certain flexibilities that allow countries to defy its rules under special circumstances. Besides, countries have until end 2025 to approve or disapprove the Pact.
From here onwards, the WHO fiasco becomes blurry. It is unclear how many countries have approved and may approve the Pact – most likely not many, but the overall “picture” is deliberately kept fuzzy. General silence is the public information of this WHO disaster.
No nation wants to lose its health sovereignty to a dictator, as WHO already is with the powers given by the UN system to the incompetent Mr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO’s Director-General, pushed into his position by Bill Gates, a major donor to WHO. How could the WHO General Assembly say no?
Mr. Trump’s decision does not come as a surprise. Already in December 2024, his Transition Team was pushing for an exit from WHO on day One of the new administration. And that it was.
According to US law, withdrawing from WHO requires a one-year-notice. That means the end of US membership will take effect in early 2026.
Children’s Health Defense (CHD) CEO Mary Holland said,
“I applaud President Trump’s decision to leave the World Health Organization. It has not been transparent, based on science, or serving the U.S. interest in public health.
“The World Health Organization is not a reformable institution. Its proposed Pandemic Treaty is a nightmare and would lead to more gain-of-function and pandemics.”
CHD was founded by Rober F. Kennedy Jr., nominated as President Trump’s new Secretary of Public Health.
Public health physician Dr. David Bell says “WHO needs a radical shake-up”. Dr. Bell is a former medical officer and scientist at the WHO. He adds,
“WHO needs a massive downsizing” and “return to basic public health rather than the profit-driven false agenda of rising pandemic risk that WHO has embarked on.”
Most of the world is applauding Donald Trump’s decision to exit WHO. Almost all the globe’s 8 billion people want to decide over their own body, not being imposed when they must get “vaccinated” and what medication they are allowed to take and what not.
With the US exiting WHO, this may now all change. Other countries which would not have dared taking the lead in abandoning WHO may now have the courage to follow the Master.
Except for Germany, given the absurd and extremely vigorous life- and economy-destroying covid mandates, the Government has already launched a desperate call for Mr. Trump to reconsider. It is highly doubtful that he will.
If WHO collapses or is disgraced, the entire house of cards on which this Lie of all Lies was built falls apart – and many of the German tyrants imposing the rules, well-aware that they were not justified, may face criminal charges.
This is just the beginning, President Trump has sent an important signal to the world, to stop the WHO and pandemic fraud, as well as the criminal WOKE agenda which has left many children sex-mutilated —with a difficult life ahead, when they start realizing that they have been brainwashed into having a sex-change, without really knowing what the long-term implications are.
We are at the beginning of a new Era. President Trump calls it the beginning of the Golden Age.
