Sometimes a break-up is necessary to improve a relationship.As much as many people were happy with the news that President Donald Trump signed an executive order beginning the process of the country leaving the World Health Organization, that move may have been a gambit to a better deal for this nation.
During his Las Vegas rally over the weekend, Donald Trump said on Saturday he may consider rejoining the organization.
“Maybe we would consider doing it again, I don’t know. Maybe we would. They would have to clean it up,” Trump said at a rally in Las Vegas.
The U.S. is scheduled to leave the WHO on Jan. 22, 2026. Trump announced the move on Monday after he was sworn in for a second term in the White House.
The U.S. is by far the biggest financial backer of the WHO, contributing around 18% of its overall funding. The WHO’s most recent two-year budget, for 2024-2025, was $6.8 billion.
Trump told the crowd in Las Vegas he was unhappy that the U.S. paid more into the WHO than China, which has a much bigger population.
