Trump had started the process of leaving the World Health Organization in his first term but was not able to complete it.

By Patrick Wingrove, Jennifer Rigby and Emma Farge NEW YORK/LONDON/GENEVA (Reuters) -The United States will leave the World Health Organization, President Donald Trump said on Monday, saying the global health agency had mishandled the COVID-19 pandemic and other international health crises.

As part of his blitz of executive orders, President Trump delivered on a promise to withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization. The Trump White House accuses the WHO of mishandling the COVID-19 pandemic and bias toward China.

The World Health Organization said it "regrets" US President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw his country from the UN agency.

Trump initially removed the U.S. from the WHO in 2020, but Biden reversed his action before it went into effect.

One of President Trump’s first executive orders removes the U.S. from the global health organization, which experts say is “cataclysmic.”

As expected, President Donald Trump hit the ground running on Monday, signing scores of executive orders on various topics ranging from immigration to social issues. Among the policies implemented by Trump on his first day back in the White House were orders to withdraw the United States from two key international institutions.
