The news that shocked the WHO, the World Health Organization, came from the UK Financial Times.

Trump's transition team is pushing ahead with a plan to declare its withdrawal from the WHO on January 20 next year, when the inauguration ceremony will be held.

There were also opinions to remain inside and reform, but it was reported that they were pushed back by voices to withdraw immediately.

Foreign media inquiries were made about the report, but the transition team remained silent.

President-elect Trump had a history of actually pushing ahead with the WHO withdrawal in the first term.

With the COVID-19 situation in the U.S. rapidly worsening, the WHO has announced its withdrawal, accusing it of being biased against China.

[Donald Trump / Then-U.S. President (April 2020): The U.S. has donated $500 million every year, and China has given $38 million. But I think I'm working for China.

The Democratic Party of Korea criticized it as a trick to turn around the criticism.

Before the withdrawal process was finalized, President Biden, who took over the reins, returned to the WHO immediately on the day of his inauguration.

[Anthony Fauci/Former Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (January 2021): It is an honor to announce that the United States will remain a member of the WHO.]

The U.S. has an absolute share of the WHO.

In the past two years, he has shared 1.8 trillion won to account for 16% of his finances.

It is indispensable for sharing various data and blocking the spread of infectious diseases.

That's why many experts warn that the U.S. withdrawal will have catastrophic consequences.

[Tewardros Adhanom Ghebreyesus / WHO Director-General (last 10th): US leaders understand that the United States cannot be safe unless the rest of the world is safe.]

Major international organizations such as UNESCO and the World Trade Organization, which had the same experience during Trump's first term, are also anxiously watching the future of the WHO.
