Trump transition team plans immediate withdrawal from WHO, expert says

Daily Mail  

Donald Trump's presidential transition team is planning an immediate withdrawal from the World Health Organization, an expert familiar with the discussions has said. It comes after Trump reignited his interest earlier this week in buying Greenland, alleging that US ownership of the island is an 'absolute necessity' to protect global 'national security and freedom'. Trump's interest in purchasing Greenland comes amid a series of comments about territorial expansion, including invading Mexico and turning Canada into a US state. Trump's interest in purchasing Greenland comes as the president-elect has expressed interest in gaining control of the Panama Canal.
