Trump administration formally withdraws US from WHO
Source: The Hill
The White House has officially withdrawn the United States from the World Health Organization (WHO), a senior administration official confirmed Tuesday, breaking ties with a global public health body in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic.
The U.S. withdrawal is effective as of Monday and has been submitted to the United Nations secretary-general, the official said Tuesday.
Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee, tweeted that the administration informed Congress of the withdrawal.

No president should be abld to unilaterally withdraw from trade organizations, treaties or other international coalition without the approval of congress. Same goes for imposing tariffs.
