Medical associations, advocacy organizations, bipartisan representatives, and allies abroad criticize the withdrawal that goes into effect July 2021. Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, promised on Tuesday to reverse the decision on his first day as a president.
Senator Robert Menendez view about the U.S. withdrawal from WHO
The top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Senator Robert Menendez, tweeted about the latest news of withdrawal. He wrote that Congress received a statement that the President of the United States officially withdrew the country from the World Health Organization in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. To call the response of the president to coronavirus illogical and chaotic does not do it justice. Therefore this decision won’t protect U.S. citizens’ lives or interests – it leaves them sick and alone.

To call Trump’s response to COVID chaotic & incoherent doesn’t do it justice. This won’t protect American lives or interests—it leaves Americans sick & America alone.

U.S. withdrawal will effective from 6th July 2021
An official of the State Department also confirmed that the U.S.’s notice of withdrawal from WHO, effective from 6th July 2021, was submitted to the United Nations Secretary-General, the depository for the organization. António Guterres, the spokesman for Secretary-General, said that he received the notice and now in the process of verifying with the WHO whether all the necessary conditions for such withdrawal met.
Those conditions include such as giving one-year notice and ultimately meeting the payment of measured financial responsibilities. A familiar source told CNN that the letter addressed to the United Nations consisted of just three sentences, but it triggers a one-year withdrawal timeline from the Trump administration. Whereas, the source also warns that it is unable to confirm they saw the final version of the letter.
The Chief Executive and the president of the UN Foundation says that among its existing functions, the World Health Organization is trying to coordinate efforts to provide personal medical and safety equipment such as ventilators to hospitals across the world. According to her, the organization is indispensable in the fight against the coronavirus.
