DISPUTE OVER US-OWED FEES
Under U.S. law, it was supposed to give one-year notice and pay all outstanding fees - around $260 million - before departing.
But a U.S. State Department official disputed that the statute contains a condition that any payment needs to be made before withdrawal.
“The American people have paid more than enough,” a State Department spokesperson said in an email earlier on Thursday.

Imagine the US starts WW3, but loses because their idiot soldiers dont know how to practice hygiene and they just die from the plague.

The pandemic is one of Trump’s biggest failures. I’m not surprised he has to continue to cover for that. Everything Trump touches dies.

Yet another thing that, whilst perhaps better for the world overall, will negatively impact Americans. Someone’s making money out of this (Big Pharma? idk), all of Trump’s moves are about money.

Well thats on brand as our Health and Human Services Secretary is openly advocating unhealthy practices. I’m surprised the WHO didn’t throw us out. They certainly have reason to.
They also have a big reason not to, it’s cash.
Also… You know… World health
I think the pandemic made it abundantly clear that viruses have very little respect or care for out borders and nation states…
USA dropping out of a collaborative effort to promote health and safety, weakens the “immune system” of the planet.
Only until they die off to preventable diseases
I want off mr bones wild ride
I mean… true, they just got the payee wrong. The American people have paid more than enough, but not to the WHO, no, they have paid too much to oligarchs and this corrupt ass government.
Well, I must admit I am not sure what a Human Being is and which creatures deserve my Human attention to save my own species….JFC…
World health set to improve as a result, as the USA will no longer bring down the average.
USA to be the first member of newly formed world health insurance organisation, where it costs a trillion dollars to sneeze.
Even Vatican have observer status in WHO.
Who’s winning the War on Drugs? The drugs? Or the brain worms?
Lol, yet again
