The World Health Organization (WHO) has expressed deep regret over U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement to withdraw the country from the organization. In a statement released on Tuesday, the WHO conveyed its hope that the U.S. government will reconsider this significant decision.
The WHO emphasized its desire to maintain partnership with the United States through constructive dialogue. It reaffirmed its commitment to addressing the root causes of diseases, strengthening health systems, and effectively detecting, preventing, and responding to health emergencies, such as disease outbreaks.
\"We look forward to continuing collaboration with the United States,\" the statement read, highlighting the importance of unity and cooperation in tackling global health challenges.
The U.S. has been one of the largest contributors to the WHO, and its withdrawal comes at a critical time when global solidarity is essential in combating health crises.
