The World Health Organization turns 75 today. Forged in the years following World War II, many hoped people would finally work together to eradicate some of the world's worst diseases.

Why does Trump want to withdraw? Trump first tried to exit WHO during his first term in 2020, accusing the organization of “severely mismanaging and covering up” the spread of Covid-19.

President Trump’s executive order for the U.S. to withdraw from the World Health Organization could greatly impact the nation’s ability to track and respond to global disease threats.
