Mere hours into his second term in office, President Trump once again began the process to withdraw America from the WHO. Here’s what you need to know about this answer to our prayers.
From The Epoch Times. On his second term’s first day in office, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization (WHO), making good on a project from his first administration.

Trump’s Jan. 20 order halted U.S. funding to the United Nations body, citing the WHO’s “mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic that arose out of Wuhan, China,” as well as other global health concerns. …
The Largest WHO Funder
The United States is currently the largest WHO funder, contributing about $1.28 billion during 2022–2023, the last reported year on the organization’s website. That equates to almost half of the WHO’s joint external evaluation missions for the last fiscal year.
The 2024–2025 fiscal year is shaping up similarly, with the United States serving as the largest donor by far, contributing an estimated $988 million, or roughly 14 percent of the WHO’s $6.9 billion budget. …
WHO Response
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus described relations with the United States as “a good model partnership” during a press briefing in Geneva in December 2024. …
Following the announcement of Trump’s decision to remove the United States from the organization, Ghebreyesus spoke out, asking world leaders to push the White House to reverse the decision. …
CDC Response
Officials at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have ordered agency employees to stop working with the WHO, effective immediately.
John Nkengasong, the CDC’s deputy director for global health, sent a memo to agency leadership on Jan. 26 calling on staff to cease collaborating with the WHO immediately and wait for further guidance. …
Behind the Withdrawal
The Trump administration said the WHO was not able to demonstrate independence from the “inappropriate political influence” of member states and had failed to “adopt urgently needed reforms.”
The president’s executive order also cites “unfairly onerous payments” by the United States that Trump said are “far out of proportion with other countries’ assessed payments.”
“China, with a population of 1.4 billion, has 300 percent of the population of the United States, yet contributes nearly 90 percent less to the WHO,” the order stated. …

Great is God’s Faithfulness. Thank you President Trump
Praise God!
I join with my fellow intercessors in praise, Lord!!! We never should have joined and given primary funding in the first place!
Amen!
Thank you, Father God, for President Donald Trump, and his mandate to get rid of the WHO hallelujah thank you, Jesus.
As an ICU nurse working as a missionary in East Africa I am delighted President Trump withdrew us from WHO. It is not a health organization. It is a population decider and uses people as experiments for their own gain and lies to people what is in vaccines they are foisting on people.
Thank you for your first-hand insight, Hannah!
YAY!!! FINALLY!!
THANK You for this MAJOR victory, Lord!!
Praise our Mighty God for answering our prayers.
Sometimes it seems like a long wait, but when His timing is right,
nothing can stop His moving.
We will continue to pray as we praise God and thank Him for leading His
people whom He has chosen to continue His work and plan no matter the pushback!
God is used to pushback and He will not be stopped. Hallelujah!!
Isn’t the current director of the WHO a dictator. So the dictator of the WHO wants nations to put pressure on the US not to withdraw I pray that other nations will follow the US and withdraw. I pray that God’s will be done. Trust in God.
🙏😇🙏
Keep going President Trump!
God Bless President Trump with continued wisdom, guidance, protection . To God be the glory!!!!!
PRAISE GOD!!!!!
Answer to prayer. Praise God!
Very good move on president Trump’s part! Praise God!
Praise God!!! I have been concerned about association with the WHO for several years, so was so thankful to see President Trump act.
Thank you Lord! I see Argentina is also withdrawing! May many more follow!
Lord, we praise and thank you for the decision to withdraw from the WHO, whose direction has been usurped by WEF and other demonic agendas. We can more effectively assist developing nations by assisting worthy NGO mission groups that we can hold accountable for expenditure reporting of limited grants. We pray for your guidance in congressional committees and staff to oversee all foreign aid. Amen
