Trump announced the US will pull out of the WHO. What does that actually mean?

London CNN — President Donald Trump’s announcement Friday that the United States will terminate its relationship with the World Health Organization carries significant consequences in the US and around the world. Each member chooses a delegation of health experts and leaders to represent the country in the World Health Assembly, the organization’s decision and policy-making body The member states directly control the organization’s leadership and direction – the assembly appoints the WHO director general, sets its agenda and priorities, reviews and approves budgets, and more. Major countries' total contributions to the WHO United States: $893 million United Kingdom: $435 million Germany: $292 million Japan: $214 million China: $86 million France: $76 million Russia: $57 million Includes assessed and voluntary contributions The rest of the three quarters mostly come from “voluntary contributions,” meaning donations from member states or partners. In his remarks on Friday, Trump said that China had not properly reported information it had about the coronavirus to the World Health Organization and said China had pressured the WHO to “mislead the world.” “Chinese officials ignored their reporting obligations to the World Health Organization and pressured the World Health Organization to mislead the world when the virus was first discovered by Chinese authorities,” Trump said.
