Announces termination of U.S. relationship with the World Health Organization

In a Rose Garden press conference, Trump announced that the United States would 'terminate' its relationship with the World Health Organization (WHO) and redirect funding to other global public health charities. He accused the WHO of being effectively controlled by China and failing to enact requested reforms. This move, made in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, was widely criticized by public health experts as dangerous and isolationist.

"We will be today terminating our relationship with the World Health Organization." — Rose Garden remarks
