The Trump administration formally moved to withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization over the agency’s dismal response to the coronavirus pandemic.
On Tuesday, the State Department notified the United Nations that the U.S. would be terminating its relationship effective next July.

Last month, President Trump announced that funding would be halted and the 72-year relationship would come to an end due to the WHO’s refusal to address serious issues, not the least of which was having China’s back during the early stages of the COVID-19 outbreak when more decisive action could have American saved lives.
Via The Wall Street Journal, “Trump Moves to Pull U.S. Out of World Health Organization in Midst of Covid-19 Pandemic”:
The U.S. has formally notified the World Health Organization it will withdraw from the United Nations agency over President Trump’s criticism of its ties to China, a move critics say will hamper the international fight against the Covid-19 pandemic and sap the U.S. of global influence.
The U.S. State Department sent notice to the U.N. on July 6 it would end its 72-year-old membership in the WHO. “The President has been clear that the WHO needs to get its act together,” a department spokesman said. “That starts with demonstrating significant progress and the ability to prevent, detect, and respond to infectious disease outbreaks with transparency and accountability.”
The exit won’t take effect until next July, leaving it contingent on Mr. Trump’s re-election. His rival for the White House, presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, said Tuesday the U.S. would remain a member if he wins.
The president says the WHO, the U.N.’s chief global health institution, is under China’s sway and has failed to respond adequately to the coronavirus pandemic. He has said the U.S. would redirect the funds it currently sends the WHO to other “deserving, urgent global public-health needs” because the agency failed to make reforms the U.S. had requested.
“They’re a puppet of China,” Mr. Trump said in May at the White House. “They give us a lot of bad advice.”
The president blasted the WHO as China’s puppet and has been highly critical of its director Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus for coddling the communist dictatorship.
Tuesday’s developments did not sit well with another one of China’s puppets.
According to dementia-addled presumptive Democrat nominee Joe Biden:
“Americans are safer when America is engaged in strengthening global health. On my first day as President, I will rejoin the @WHO and restore our leadership on the world stage.”
The former vice president’s remarks show that he will make America subservient to global organizations and interests and bring back his former boss Barack Obama’s policies of appeasement.

Two of Biden’s prospective running mates railed against Trump via Twitter:
The move was also blasted by sore loser Hillary Clinton who continues to conduct herself as the leader of a government in exile after being spanked by voters four years ago.
With Biden being an empty vessel who is effectively a zombie candidate and Mrs. Clinton still lurking in the wings it is clear that if the Democrats win back the White House that there will be an immediate restoration of “America last” policies.
