The United States will formally terminate its relationship with the World Health Organization (WHO) on May 29, according to President Donald Trump.

The president had warned the WHO less than two weeks prior that the United States would cut funding to the group unless it takes significant steps to prove independence from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
