After being sworn in as the 47th President of the United States, Donald Trump has issued dozens of executive orders. Those orders range from immigration and border security to the economy, climate change and the World Health Organization (WHO). He has also given importance to issues such as foreign policy, energy, amnesty for those accused of the Capitol Hill riots, confidentiality of documents, and TikTok.

With the order of President Donald Trump, the US is going to withdraw from the WHO again. He signed an executive order on Monday deciding to withdraw the US from the WHO. Scientists said Trump's decision would make it difficult to sustain decades of gains against infectious diseases such as HIV-AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis. Now they estimate that the defense of the world community will be weakened if dangerous new outbreaks and epidemics spread. 

The US has withdrawn from the WHO for the second time in less than five years. During Trump's first term, the United States withdrew from the WHO a few months after the WHO declared Covid-19 a global pandemic. In July 2020, the Trump administration notified UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres of suspending support to the WHO.

Trump accused the WHO of becoming a 'puppet' of China during the Covid epidemic. He called 'Covid-19' as 'Chinese virus' several times. Joe Biden reversed the Trump administration's decision to withdraw from the WHO on January 20, 2021, on the first day of his tenure as president. President and CEO of the advocacy group "Resolve to Save Lives," Dr. Tom Frieden said that Trump's actions will make the world less safe. 

The decision to withdraw from the WHO will silence America's voice in important decisions affecting global health security, he said. "For real reform, we should be engaged, not abandoned. We cannot make the WHO effective by avoiding it. This decision weakens the influence of the United States and increases the risk of a deadly epidemic,' he said. 

The United Nations health agency WHO has been coordinating with the global community on global health threats such as monkeypox, Ebola and polio. The WHO, which provides technical assistance to poor countries, has also been helping with the distribution, supply and treatment of rare vaccines. WHO has been guiding hundreds of health problems including mental health and cancer. 

Lawrence Gostin, director of the WHO Collaborating Center on Global Health Law at Georgetown University, says that America's withdrawal from the WHO will have a serious impact on the global health situation. He believes that the loss of American resources will destroy WHO's global monitoring and epidemic response efforts. 

Ashish Jha, who is the coordinator of the Covid-19 response in the Biden administration, says that Trump's decision will not only affect the health of the world but also damage American leadership and scientific skills.

America, which joined WHO in 1948, provided financial assistance from 160 million to 815 million US dollars every year in the past decade. Currently, WHO's annual budget is 2 billion to 3 billion US dollars. In 2023, the US accounted for 20 percent of WHO's total budget. 

The loss of US support is sure to have a direct impact on global health initiatives, including efforts to eradicate polio, maternal and child health programs and research to identify new virus threats. Many US agencies, including the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which work with the WHO, are sure to be affected. 

Trump's latest decision seems to have a direct impact on developing countries like Nepal. After the budget cuts from the major donors, the organization will have to reduce the scope of the program. In Nepal, WHO is active in areas such as maternal and perinatal mortality, neonatal and child-related diseases, reproductive and women's health and immunization and polio, measles, rubella and neonatal tetanus. 

President Trump has decided to withdraw from the Paris Agreement. The Paris Agreement, signed by 195 countries, is an important agreement to limit global warming. The agreement mentions that global temperature increase should be limited to below 1.5 degrees if not to 2 degrees. The agreement made it globally binding to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the main cause of climate change. 

The Joe Biden administration presented a new ambitious goal for the United States in December 2024. It stated that the United States will reduce climate pollution by 66 percent by 2035 to below 2005 levels. US officials played a key role in the 2015 Paris Agreement negotiations under the Barack Obama administration.

Trump announced on June 2, 2017 that the US would withdraw from the Paris Agreement. He said that the Paris Agreement is very unfair to the US. But the US formally withdrew from the Paris Agreement on November 4, 2020, just one day after Joe Biden was elected president. 

President Trump has decided to withdraw from the agreement on the day he started his second term. This means that the Trump administration seems to be trying to increase the production of fossil fuels in the US. Trump has repeatedly opposed renewable energy. As an alternative, he said that he will start mining for oil and gas. It is said that it will take at least a year for the US to formally withdraw from the Paris Agreement. 

The withdrawal of the US from the Paris Agreement will also have a direct impact on the climate damage fund. Indemnity funds are very important for developing countries like Nepal, which have a negligible role in greenhouse gas emissions. The fund was established for the compensation of developing countries due to greenhouse gases emitted by developed and industrialized countries.

In the COP-27 held last November in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, developed countries set a goal of mobilizing at least 3 trillion US dollars per year until 2035. The US role is crucial in achieving this goal. America is the world's second largest greenhouse gas emitter after China.
