247 - US President Donald Trump has formalized the country's withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO), according to CNN. Trump sent a notification to the US Congress on Tuesday (7) communicating the withdrawal.
The information was confirmed via social media by Democratic Senator Robert Menendez. "Congress has received notification that the president is officially withdrawing the U.S. from the WHO in the midst of a pandemic. Calling Trump's actions against Covid-19 chaotic and incoherent doesn't do them justice. This will not protect American lives or interests—but will leave them sick and alone."
Following in Trump's footsteps, Bolsonaro has also expressed interest in Withdraw Brazil from the WHO..
The US withdrawal from the WHO was anticipated by Trump on May 29, when he accused the organization of lying about the origin of the coronavirus to protect China.
