United States President Donald Trump late Saturday said he may consider rejoining the World Health Organization — days after signing an executive order announcing America’s intention to leave.
“Maybe we would consider doing it again. I don’t know. Maybe we would have to clean it up a little bit,” Trump said at a rally in Las Vegas, while complaining that the U.S. paid more into the global health agency than China, which has a much bigger population.
Trump ordered a U.S. exit from the WHO on Monday, citing what he described as a mishandling of the Covid-19 pandemic and other international health crises. It is Trump’s second attempt at withdrawing the U.S. from the WHO.
