Statement on the President’s Announcement to Pull Out of the World Health Organization

InterAction issued the following statement on President Trump’s announcement to pull out of the World Health Organization.

“The President’s decision to terminate the U.S. relationship with the World Health Organization (WHO), during this global pandemic, is shortsighted and could have sweeping negative effects.

“To protect us all and combat this deadly virus, America must undertake a global response that uses all the tools available. The WHO cannot simply be replaced and cutting off U.S. funding makes the world and America less safe as we face a range of global health threats.”
