President Donald Trump hinted at the possibility of the United States rejoining the World Health Organization (WHO), days after initiating the country’s withdrawal. Speaking at a rally in Las Vegas, Trump stated, “Maybe we would consider doing it again... They would have to clean it up.” The U.S. is set to leave the WHO on January 22, 2026, following Trump’s decision after being sworn in for a second term.
Trump criticized the WHO’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and other global health crises, expressing frustration that the U.S. contributes significantly more funding than China despite its smaller population. The U.S. currently accounts for approximately 18% of the WHO’s $6.8 billion budget for 2024-2025, making it the organization’s largest financial supporter.
In his speech, Trump also discussed expanding economic ties with Saudi Arabia. He shared that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman recently pledged $600 billion in investments and trade over the next four years. Trump said he aims to increase this figure to $1 trillion to boost the U.S. economy.
Trump’s remarks highlight his focus on prioritizing U.S. interests in international organizations and partnerships. Whether the U.S. returns to the WHO will likely depend on reforms addressing Trump’s concerns over funding disparities and operational efficiency.
These developments come as Trump seeks to reshape global alliances while emphasizing stronger investment ties with key partners like Saudi Arabia.
