The withdrawal takes effect July 2021.
The Trump administration submitted a notice of withdrawal from the World Health Organization to the United Nations secretary-general, a senior administration official told Fox News on Tuesday, after President Trump for weeks had blasted the WHO’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic and what he called its pro-China bias.
The White House also notified congressional lawmakers Tuesday of the official removal, effective July 2021.
"Congress received notification that POTUS officially withdrew the U.S. from the @WHO in the midst of a pandemic," Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., tweeted.
Menendez argued, "To call Trump’s response to COVID chaotic & incoherent doesn't do it justice. This won't protect American lives or interests—it leaves Americans sick & America alone."
A spokesman for U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres confirmed Tuesday that the organization received U.S. notice to withdraw.
NOTE: Beware loud music if you choose to read the whole article. Why does Fox do this? Stupid.

Fox has gone full “Karen.” Scolding us. They give more front loaded space to the criticism of this “common sense” response to corruption, than they do to Trump or the reasons for it.
Exactly correct. So many people just accept that all these agencies, NGOs, foreign governments, government employees etc are entitled to taxpayer money without any accountability or responsibility. Not only did the WHO behave recklessly, so did the CDC, HHS and FDA among others.
The next phase of the Covid fight will be over bailing out the states and cities with taxpayer money. States like NY, CA, IL, NJ and others (and the cities within them) are probably looking at a 30%-40% hole in their budgets this year. Instead of rethinking the role of public service and a need to be more efficient, they will want to be made whole and keep all their bloated fiefdoms intact.
HOORAY.
Should tell those states that once there other expenses match the lowest per capita spending state we can’t help them. It would be wrong to have that state pay to bail out the other states when they are living within their means. So cut their budges to match per capita the lowest per capita state and then the gov’t can help with COVID costs.
Neither does the WHO. In fact, they worked against the rest of the world to help China cover up SARS-CoV2. They do not represent the world, they represent China.
Now do the U.N. Mr. President.
Looks like the CDC will have to start doing actual work instead of just handing out faxes from the WHO.
Dear Mr. President,
We just heard, “ Trump administration submits notice of withdrawal from World Health Organization.”
Congratulations!
Next, we need to hear, Trump administration submits notice of withdrawal from UNITED NATIONS.
Respectfully, Mark Davis
We have to keep the UN in order to keep our Veto right.
Let the UN collapse like a house of cards on its self.
I hope and pray the UN is next. Unfunded and exiled to wither on the subversive communist vine.
