When Donald Trump returns to the White House, he's expected to issue a series of orders with far-reaching impact on global health — from abortion services to support for the World Health Organization.

The World Health Organization is drawing up a list of reasons why the U.S. should remain in the WHO for its own good, two sources familiar with the process told Reuters, as part of an attempt by its supporters to lobby incoming President Donald Trump.

It's widely expected that the United States will leave the World Health Organization when Donald Trump becomes president. Experts say it would be a lose-lose for the US and global health.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump has promised sweeping actions in his second administration. The president-elect has outlined a wide-ranging agenda that blends traditional conservative approaches to taxes, regulation and cultural issues with a more populist bent on trade and a shift in America’s international role.

Doge is far from the only such example. Indeed, thanks to the launch of TRUMP, the total memecoin market cap has surpassed $126 billion, outsizing countless traditional businesses and putting it just $2 billion away from the decentralized finance sector.

Experts are also concerned that the second Trump administration will spurn scientific best practice, spreading disinformation globally. They cite Trump’s nomination of Robert F Kennedy Jr, a prominent anti-vaccine campaigner, as health and human services secretary.

Four key decisions await Trump: reinstating the Mexico City Policy; withdrawing from WHO, abandoning the Pandemic Prevention Treaty and de-authorizing PEPFAR, the HIV prevention program.

The global institution is standing up to China and open to making America’s financial burden more equitable. One truth traveled the world with Covid-19: When infectious diseases spread, no one is safe until everyone is safe. If no mechanism for international health cooperation existed, it would have to be created.

Crowds are gathering in Washington DC in freezing conditions ahead of Donald Trump being sworn in as the 47th president.

As Donald Trump takes the oath of office again, the world watches with a sense that, this time, those outside the U.S. have a better idea what to expect.

The White House released a "roadmap” on Tuesday for maintaining government defenses against infectious diseases.

Donald Trump has made scores of promises that, if kept, would significantly reshape American life, culture, economics, politics and diplomacy.
