The House Freedom Caucus on May 23 demanded that President Joe Biden “halt ... efforts to empower the World Health Organization (WHO)” and return to President Donald Trump’s plan to withdraw from the controversial body.
In July 2020, Trump signed an order initiating a withdrawal of the United States from the WHO, which has been criticized for its ties to the Chinese Communist Party. At the time, Trump accused the WHO of covering for the Chinese regime, which Trump said was hiding the true scope of COVID-19 cases within its borders.
