President Trump first announced the U.S. would leave the World Health Organization (WHO) in May 2020, halting funding and initiating withdrawal due to the COVID-19 pandemic's mishandling and China's influence, though this was reversed by President Biden in 2021; Trump reiterated the order in January 2025 upon returning to office, with the formal exit taking effect in January 2026 after the required one-year notice period.
Timeline of Trump's Actions on WHO:
April 2020: Halted U.S. funding for the WHO, demanding major reforms within 30 days.
May 29, 2020: Announced the U.S. would terminate its relationship with the WHO and redirect funds.
July 6, 2020: Formally notified the UN of the intent to withdraw, a process that would take a year to complete.
January 20, 2021: President Biden rescinded the withdrawal notice on his first day in office, keeping the U.S. in the WHO.
January 20, 2025: As part of his return to office, President Trump signed an executive order to withdraw the U.S. from the WHO again.
January 22, 2026: The U.S. withdrawal officially became final, one year after the notification was made, according to NPR.
Reasons Cited by Trump:
Accused the WHO of mishandling and covering up the COVID-19 pandemic.
Claimed China had undue political influence over the organization.
Stated the WHO failed to adopt needed reforms and demanded unfair payments from the U.S..
🚨 NEW DAD SAYS HIS NEWBORN WAS FLAGGED, PROFILED, AND MARKETED BY THE GOVERNMENT - ALL BEFORE THE SOCIAL SECURITY CARD EVEN ARRIVED
A father holds his newborn on camera and says the quiet part out loud. His daughter was born at home, not in a hospital, meaning there was no hospital intake, no nursery forms, no formula samples, and no medical-system handoff that normally feeds baby product marketing databases.
And yet, before their baby’s Social Security card even showed up, advertisements from Johnson & Johnson promoting infant formula were already arriving at their house - perfectly timed, perfectly targeted.
He says they never opted in, never signed up, and never gave consent to any corporation, which is why he believes the only possible source of that information was the government itself.
In his words: “The government’s allowing corporations to send you advertisements with formula that has a whole bunch of crap in there. That’s how I know the government doesn’t actually care about your health. Surprise, surprise.”
No breastfeeding support. No postpartum care. No guidance for new parents - just ads arriving faster than official paperwork.
If a baby can be identified, categorized, and monetized without ever entering a hospital, then birth isn’t a private moment anymore, it’s a data trigger.
So who gets notified the moment a child exists, and who’s making money off it first?
