The President needs the approval of Congress to pull out of WHO, but I don't expect it to stop him.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I also believe there is a waiting period as well. Because I think he tried the same thing last time he was in office, but because it doesn't take effect immediately it didn't actually happen.
And according this NPR piece in 2020 it looks like the waiting period is a year, so Trump was out of office before it would have taken effect.
His "Project Lightspeed" bullshit used WHO resources as well 🤣
He's literally just trying to pull the same shit he tries with everyone on the planet. "I didn't like the result , so I'm not paying you". That's all his simple mind can process. He doesn't understand what it means to not participate in a global health organization whose sole purpose is stop pandemic-like situations.
Warp speed
We are fucked....
If we give up...
Perfect move for a country full of antivaxx idiots, with an antivaxxer becoming responsible for the health of the population, all while brewing the next pandemic on their own soil.
I wonder if we will get to talk about the USA virus in the coming years.
Just call it "The Trump Pandemic". And I bet he will be happy about it, because it will make him really famous.
...because donvict didn't kill enough people with Covid; he hopes to do even more damage in the next round.
Can't be having those health insurance insurance companies beating him out. Gotta do unneeded deaths biggly.
America is about to experience some real brain drain.
I guess Canada is best positioned to benefit
Or smith & wesson.
Got mine!
No need. They'll kick you right the fuck out as soon as RFK opens his dumb mouth.
start surrounding the white house with bird feeders
Why the white house? We all know he’s gonna be at his golf course.
To keep him busy watching birds or to infect him with avian flu?
