The World Health Organization (WHO) has expressed deep regret over the United States' decision to withdraw from the organization, following an announcement by U.S. President Donald Trump.
In a statement released on Tuesday, the WHO hopes the U.S. government will reconsider its decision, emphasizing the importance of global cooperation in addressing health challenges.
The organization stated it looks forward to maintaining its partnership with the United States through constructive dialogue. It reaffirmed its commitment to addressing the root causes of diseases, strengthening health systems, and responding to health emergencies such as disease outbreaks.
The United States has been a key partner and one of the largest contributors to the WHO. The withdrawal raises concerns about the global health community's ability to collaborate effectively amid ongoing health crises.
