President Donald Trump recently expressed openness to potentially rejoining the World Health Organization (WHO) after signing an executive order withdrawing the U.S. from the international group. During a rally in Las Vegas, Trump highlighted the disparity in contributions between the U.S. and China, with the U.S. paying $500 million annually compared to China's $39 million, despite China's larger population.
An analysis by NPR revealed that the U.S. contributes approximately 10% of the WHO's budget, while China contributes around 3%. Trump's decision to withdraw from the WHO was based on concerns about the organization's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, lack of reforms, and what he deemed as unfair financial burdens on the U.S.
