Trump's controversial decision: what does leaving the WHO mean for global health?

Donald Trump has signed an executive order to withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization, which will take effect in 12 months after notification to the United Nations.
The U.S. Is the WHO's biggest donor, contributing about 18 percent of its funding, and will end its financial support for various health programs.
Experts warn that the withdrawal will significantly impact the WHO's ability to address global health threats, with concerns expressed by international organizations and the European Union.
The decision leaves the WHO in a precarious position, as it continues to track health issues like the Marburg virus outbreak in Tanzania.
