JUST IN: The Trump admin. has officially notified the UN of its withdrawal from the World Health Organization, a White House official says.

"This is an abdication of America’s role as a global leader and it is the opposite of putting America first— it will put America at risk," Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., said in a statement."Refusing to work with our partners across the world to fight this pandemic will only prolong the crisis, further undermine our international standing, and leave us less prepared for future crises.

"President Trump needs to realize this crisis doesn’t recognize borders and hiding from it or passing the blame won’t make it go away or make him any less responsible," Murray, the top Democrat on the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, added. The Republican chairmen of those two committees, Sens. Jim Risch, R-Idaho, and Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., did not immediately respond to requests for comment from NBC News.said at the White House in late May that the U.S. would be"terminating" its relationship with the WHO over its response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Because they have failed to make the requested and greatly needed reforms, we will be today terminating our relationship with the World Health Organization and redirecting those funds to other worldwide and deserving urgent public health needs," Trump said."The world needs answers from China on the virus. We must have transparency.”to the organization pending a review. In 2019, the U.S. contribution to the WHO was roughly 15 percent of the health agency's budget.

A president typically does not have the ability to unilaterally redirect congressionally appropriated funding, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., had called the threat"dangerous" and"illegal" in April.

There has to be a reason, what is it!

If I had Corona, I’d want to be treated and welded into my home in China!

Don't worry this will never happen since the DumbAss will be out of office January 21, 2021. Biden has already said that we will not leave the WHO! Vote for Biden People! VOTE!

the comments eye-

So, let me get this straight... The US just informed the UN that it will stop sending millions of dollars to an organization that helped cover up this pandemic? It's almost like President Trump & his staff knows what they is doing!

WHO is comprised of individuals of many countries. It’s fair to request accountability that has been left as unchecked by last administration. This action will force transparent answers on behalf of US citizen’s best interests. 🙏🏻 realDonaldTrump

🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈total contributions from China to the WHO is 86 million versus total US contributions to WHO is 893 million - BYE WHO 😂😂😂WH0 china

This is a wrong and disasterous mive👎👎👎👎

No worries the next POTUS will have us rejoin.

Let's have the Voters withdraw from Trump.

I think I read the effective date is in 2021, and there won't still be a Trump administration by then. 🤞

It is about time. WHO is a useless self centered organization with no regard for the population it is supposed to serve.

What can we do to stop China controlling WHO, talking is over

So this is trump's way of saying f**k us all let them all die

Sad

In the middle of an 'F ing' pandemic? Nov 3rd can't come fast enough!

Look how Great we are ? votetrumpout

Thank You WHO & China for spreading Covid-19 to the World

Doesn’t this need a vote?

RedaMor_ I will put on a hazmat suit and crawl to the polls to vote against this douchebag if I have to.

Congress could act, if it were not frozen, captured by too big to fail (or so they think) corporations and their oligarchs.

Good! The WHO & UN are part of the evil New World Order!

Yeah cos he's not gonna listen to anymore of Thier bullshit

Restructure, the whole organization from top to bottom ! They were supposed to have boots and ears on the ground.On every continent ! Then I that someone said they were waiting on someone to get back to them in order to take any type of preventive meaaures, SERIOUSLY I Think Not

Everybody needs to withdraw ! Especially, if they are not going to do their jobs. How did things get this out of control ? Don't point the finger at anyone else either ! I don't wanna hear that you were waiting on the approval from someone who understands/knows the issue/risks

Since he can't do this for a year, it will never happen as long as JoeBiden is President!!

What about what WE want!?

And America falls like dominos...

What's wrong with the Trump administration... How can this country ever survive if he gets reelected 😥 vote BidenForPresident2020 WorldHealthOrganization COVID19

Whoa, what a stupid, crazy, and moronic thing to do at this time. Is anyone thinking from and at the WH?

Does he expect a refund too?

3M cases and over 130K deaths, and realDonaldTrump admin decides to withdraw from WHO. This means, for starters, the vaccines and new drugs of COVID19 worldwide won’t be available for Americans, at least not as fast. Instead of protecting American ppl, POTUS put them in danger

Biden will rejoin !

The world is small. We r individual countries in an interconnected world & must work together on this very global crisis. America used to lead proudly w/ a helping hand on global issues. ABC CNN MSNBC foxandfriends Corona COVID19

45 must go! Biden2020

Wtf

He truly doesn’t care about the people he swore to protect.

After this decision by the Trump Administration how can anybody not think that he is not a psychopath. Anybody that believe Trump must have a death wish or they do not think very much of themselves or their brothers and sisters or their kin.

Can we all agree that Donald Trump is out of his mind to try to quit the WHO in the middle of a pandemic that is raging in the US?

Now what do they call it again: “malignant narcissistic sociopath”... yeah that’s what I’m thinking!

EclecticMommaZ I can't take much more. He is willingly killing us. Why is no one else in power doing anything? Why are we letti g him kill us? 😥😥

Hes withdrawing because he doesn’t like the rest of the world reminding him that he sucks, his response sucks, his administration sucks, and America is basically fucked.

That’s a great news! 👏👏👏👏

Seriously? Shut up!

THIS JUST IN ...NEWS FROM THE UN ... HEAD GUY FOR UN CHILDREN’S RIGHTS ARRESTED FOR RAPING MULTIPLE CHILDREN 👶 ... NOT ONE STORY FROM YOU GUYS!!! TRYING TO KEEP IT SECRET ? QANON NOTACONSPIRACY TheGreatAwakening WWG1GWA

Trump, you are sending the U.S. right down the toilet, and you do not care. You must have ulterior motives.

“TRUMP 'GOING WITH HIS GUT IN FANNING RACISM’ frustrating White House aides’ .”

Way to go Trump they want nothing to with your bullshit...woohoo Trump

Trump is a fukking c*nt. Sorry that’s all I’ve got on this.

“MARY TRUMP’s book... ‘emotionally damaged narcissist’ who has cheated to get ahead.”

Great news! WHO is worthless and dangwrous!

GREAT NEWS, Let's make are own full of AMERICANS WE CAN TRUST. Well, that leaves out Democrats, sorry Sheep

It's ok - you'll be back in in January under President Biden.

I wonder if the UN will make some sort of resolution against us/him.

Just for show. He has to notify Congress and it takes a year to officially leave WHO. He'll be history comes Jan 20th.

It should get reversed soon after November 2020

Hang in there all you Whos in Whoville. We’ll be back in about 6 months.

Nazi idiots..nov 3

Awesome!!!

The fact that the US are withdrawing from several world organization means it is loosing the control over the rorld

Great!!

The WHO lied for china and were responsible for helping the spread of the Chinese Covid Virus. We should not only withdraw all US ties we should sue the bastards!

Well done Trump!!!

This is news. Good for him. I don't trust the WHO.

So wrong.

Thank you Pres Trump! You are a national hero. Lets finish the wall and deport the illegals that drain our wealth now.

Time to withdraw from the whole corrupted blackhole UN

Trump is awesome.

It doesn’t go into effect until July 2021. Yet another reason to vote for JoeBiden & DNC . ProjectLincoln

WTF! 😡

Good. We make up a good chunk of their budget just for them to take a heaping dump on us.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Good! The UN & WHO do not have the USA in their best interests, not even in this PLANdemic & it is high time so many Americans get their heads out of the sand & learn the truth. It is also high time the media supported the Pres & our freedom before we lose all we fought for.

Trump will get what he wants

Should be the UN in general.

We're in SERIOUS TROUBLE!

Well as much as I hate to agree with this fuck. But the WHO seems to have a China first policy. We shouldn't have to pay for there sloppiness!

Good!

Finally

One more thing JoeBiden has to fix!

Why would he DO THAT? I understand the WorldHealthOrganization failed to do there job in your eyes but I agree now is NOT the TIME!!! MrPresident

Thank you realDonaldTrump

I swear he’s trying to kill us all

And he needs to kick them out of the united states forever along with the UN

Is this lowkey good news or nah

WTF? That’s insane...kinda like realDonaldTrump

🤦🏼‍♀️

It's the way Trump like it, mo checks and do not have to hand over data to WHO, seems like USA do not have any COVID-19. Great plan!

Great news

And he wants the kids back to school!! No mercy or whatsoever.. Ivankas kids should go back to school first 😨

How frightening!!!! Can’t believe people are for this guy. Apparently he didn’t consult with any health official

DYSFUNCTIONAL DON 🤡

ABOUT. FUCKING. TIME.

trump calling for transparency? That would be funny, if it weren’t so sad.

Love watching your little heads explode!

Another one falls to ashes

Everybody go ahead. Have a propaganda meltdown. Wuhan investigation going on. Will all look like fools (again) when you find out what the investigation reveals. Maybe there's a reason Trump got us out of WHO. 🤔🤷‍♀️

WHO Sorry for the idiot who somehow is in charge of this country and insist on doing the wrong thing every time. As soon as we get rid of him we will restore our relationship.

JUST IN: Trump admin has officially founded World Death Organization, Jared in charge WHO WDO

He is silly. That isn't very American at all. 🌌 MeditationEducates

I hope that puts the UN on notice as well! 🇺🇸

Not his supporter, but I think its a good move. The US donated shitload of money to WHO, yet they screwed everyone by downplaying the pandemic and covering for CCP. Would you really trust your live on them?

I oppose Trump’s reckless withdrawal from the WorldHealthOrganization We need a global response to the Coronavirus not U.S. isolation. Trump’s decision makes us less safe.

Trump is a liability and needs to go

Great job realDonaldTrump !

Mr. President, don’t betray your people and countries relying on American’s leadership. It is suiside in the world stage.

Good. ZERO Const. authority to be doling out taxpayer $$$. Now, he just needs to do the same w/ the U.N.

Pray for us WHO!

Finally now all those hundreds thousands daollars be saved. Who doesn't do anything but copy cdic or such. They didn't warn of covid until too late

Great!!!Thanks for the heads up

GREAT NEWS!!

He will do as much damage as he can, before he gets kicked out! Good that VP Biden can bring it back!🙏🙏🙏🙏

Trump supporters are very happy about that. 2020.

Very dangerous move

Now he just needs to fire that jackass Dr.fauci who everytime he speaks you can just tell that he's not a good doctor he has no clue what he's talking about with covid

FINALLY‼️👏👏👏 The WHO has been wrong 90% of the time on COVID anything🤬 👇 👇

Long ago, vaccines were medicine, today they are TROJANS OF PURE EVIL. Jim

Seems about right. The administration has this virus RIGHT where it wants it.......everywhere

Trump is a mass murderer. Stop the TrumpVirus

Incompetent president condemns millions to death so not to be reminded that millions already died from a botched pandemic response. There, fixed your headline.

Wow.

Hang in there, WHO. We will be back in January.

😡😡🤬🤬

The WHO is corrupt trash. Good riddance. They can rename it the World Gates Organization.

We are now the bad guys. We are the new Nazi Germany. It didn’t happen overnight. It happened little by little and we are now at the point where pulling out of the WHO is just another day.

Allowing realDonaldTrump to pull America out of the World Health Organization is a HUGE mistake which the GOP are stupid enough to allow. Brainless GOPLeader has proven his heads too far up Trump's arse to care. The Trump administration is murdering Americans. VoteBlue2020

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

It's about time!!!

Love it! No more of our tax dollars to the corrupt WHO!!

Just one more stupid Trump decision that will be reversed in January.

Next, the UN.

Trump: “I have formally begun withdrawing us from the World Heath Organization (or WHO) so that in the future if there are pandemics, no one will tell us and we won’t have to shut down the economy because we won’t know why so many Americans are dropping dead. PROBLEM SOLVED!!!”

So he wants us to die, great.

He wants to isolate us.

What is wrong with realDonaldTrump? Seriously, what is wrong with him?

Really? Would anyone see that as totally stupid and dangerous while our country is battling a pandemic we are currently being overwhelmed by? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

About dang Time 🤦😒 WHO is in Bed with China

Becoming a laughing stock all around the world to own the libs

This must have a benefit for Trump or Putin. They are the only benefactors of any actions taken by the Trump administration.

This makes sense only if genocide is your objective..... TrumpVirus Genocide

Well I t’s Putin’s plan

You are all talking about the election in November like you think there’s actually going to be one. Bwaaaaahahaha

Christy98848641 Hopefully the UN is next..

Time to protest

🙄W H O🥶has a CORRUPT, $$ connection with China & likely caused a fast spread of China Murder Virus 19 by keeping quiet. Good we are out of W H O. Thank you Mr. President👋😇🎈

Holy. Fuck.

realDonaldTrump

WHO should remove its office from NY take it all to Geneva or bring it to Vancouver 🇨🇦🙏

Mothefucker traitors. We the people will not forget this November.

As COVID-19 numbers surge in the U.S.!!!! PERFECT TIMING!!! What a man!!! What a brain!!! not

Not sure why people are surprised about this. He said he was going to do it. 🤷🏽

That’s a real dumb thing to do in the middle of a pandemic.

DJSiri

Idiot realDonaldTrump

Well done... no more money for who

Good. The WHO is pure evil and if you can't see that.... well who am I kidding, the majority of you are already lost broken shells of the former souls you used to be.

Biden will fix this. Trump is just rearranging the chairs on the Titanic at this point....

As numbers and deaths from the pandemic increase. What an a-hole.

This is outrageous behavior! America wake up! We will be isolated in this world!

Good job Donald Trump W.H.O was just puppets for Bill Gates and the eugenicist and satanist liberals.

mschroeder14212 We have 540 billionaires in this country, sitting on the lion’s share of America’s treasure from the last 40 or 50 years. Any one of them could retire our debt to the World Health Organization and it would make less of a dent than a day’s fluctuation in their stock portfolio.

YES!!! NOW the UN

And what's the problem?

Clown boy can go to hell.

Elect a clown, expect a circus. Ignorance at prime

Does this mean the USA has to take back smallpox?

WHO is just a 'bogus' organization making promises to the highest bidders that influenza pandemics and global recession can give them the back end / dark web detailing they require.

Interesting

This is soo wrong

Well done

MeetThePress OMG! realDonaldTrump is such an ASSHOLE!!!!!

Good on you.

All talk. I’ll believe it when it actually happens

It's beautiful

What do we as US citizens need to do to have the UN monitor our elections?

Open society people right now...

WTF this is not the right time to be doing this. If ever!!! Insanity!!!! Now it’s definitely the TrumpVirus

It's about time!! Poor Billy boy Gates has to fund his 'health organisation' with some of his own mullah for a change.

he’d rather lie to himself that he has the virus under control

Disgusting. I'm ashamed of the Administrative branch of our government.

Support the NRA and denounce the WHO. Initially I thought Trump was just a megalomaniac, now I seriously think he’s a sociopath.

We should of done it long ago.

YES!!👍😍❤

trump is making America alone

World hoax organization

We the people want that mutherfuxxker out now!!!

Beautiful

A history of the World Health Organisation: '...The WHO has played a leading role in several public health achievements, most notably the eradication of smallpox, the near-eradication of polio, and the development of an Ebola vaccine...'

Good. Oh and this. You are ignoring as well.

Excellent move! Trump2020LandslideVictory

with all due respect: who : they knew that the coronavirus started a year ago and did nothing: for everyone infected it was a TB epidemic and pneumonia so it may not be the right time to leave but the right time to reform this organisation!

I don't think they should, but this administration has been doing nothing but things that any other administration wouldn't do.

TrumpIsUnwell and TrumpIsANationalDisgrace but hang in there because TrumpIsLosing !!! Biden2020 RedTurnedBlue

Hmmm 🤔

TrumpIsANationalDisgrace

WorstPresidentEver WorstPresidentInHistory

Woohoo! From the dozens of reports I read from whisteblower doctors who were ordered by WHO & later the National Health Services to record all cases as Covid even if they weren't, along with unproven remedies of mask wearing and house arrest. All were harmful. Goodbye corruption!

Thank God. The WHO IS RUNNED BY CHINA AND CHINA DONATES A SMALL AMOUNT OF MONEY TO THE WHO. THE U.S. WILL SAVE ABOUT 350 MILLION A YEAR.

For everyone saying “ make sure to vote in November” Eric made it clear he doesn’t intend to let us. We need DIRECT action

Good. WHO is the left arm of the CCP. And Trump knows WHO doesnt have the US best interest.

Our country will suffer.😷

Leave it to Trump to not want to have anything to do with medical science.

This can NOT be anything but to the detriment of the U.S. How can a POTUS just arbitrarily decide to do this?! Is this another of his bizarre moves to instigate chaos in order to distract us from something coming that he can't stop but doesn't want us to pay attention to?!

He withdrew the US from the World Health Organization. We're in the middle of a global pandemic and this chucklefuck pulled us out of the WHO. We're royally fucked this time.

Hallelujah

Our president is making the country screwed more alone

WHO SAT for the TEST?

Help us NBC give us your money

This is the the most rediculously stupid thing ever.

In the middle of a pandemic? Oh. Cool cool cool cool...

Remember when Republicans used to say President Obama was leading an apology tour for America around the world? The irony that they elected a guy who the following president is LITERALLY going to have to lead an apology tour to the world for America can't be over looked.

valyzamora He won't be in office in 2021

Excellent, fuck WHO

JFC...

Good all they did was back China and lied about the Chinese Wuhan virus.

Why can’t the American ppl VOTE ON THIS MAJOR DECISION? After all, it IS OUR taxes that pay for us to be in the WHO,NOT trumps $$$! Shouldn’t it be OUR decision & not some dumbass like trump

Because realDonaldTrump is a total dumbss. He is not making this country great again, he is making this country embarrassing again. DonTheCon PutinsPuppet

Not just deluded, the man is dangerous

TheRISEofROD I’m gonna save this Country a lot of time and money. look no further then RepAdamSchiff you’re Welcome. 🙌🏽🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸

TheRISEofROD Awesome news!

Does this include a ban on reporting U.S. data? So destructive. He's a sociopath.

Who in their right mind would leave the World Health Organization DURING A PANDEMIC? Oh, right...realDonaldTrump would.

Trump is taking his taking his Barbies and going home. 🙄 TrumpIsANationalDisgrace TrumpVirusCatastrophe TrumpCrimeSyndicate

PamelaNycxoxo It won’t be long.

The World Health Organization is a joke. They been wrong about everything since this pandemic started. If you don't think so, then you haven't been paying attention.

Playing chess with academia is like playing chess with a child who refuses to admit it lost. 🤣

Can we skip the election and go straight to removing him?

About time.... or is it? Somehow the UN/WHO type of thinking has already infected ( pun intended ) most of America already.... It might just be too late.

TheRISEofROD Bravo

Meanwhile, WHO does not even acknowledge on their own website the existence of COVID-19.
