LONDON – The potential return of Donald Trump to the U.S. presidency raises concerns about the future of Washington’s role in global public health efforts, according to several organizations and officials.
Trump’s transition team is reportedly planning a renewed attempt to withdraw from the World Health Organization (WHO), signaling a broader skepticism toward international organizations. This move threatens to undermine U.S. contributions to critical areas such as scientific research, infectious disease control, and pandemic preparedness.
If carried out, these actions could have significant consequences, potentially jeopardizing the well-being of billions around the world. The decision to disengage from international health initiatives could hinder global cooperation in combating emerging health threats, including future pandemics.
