The Trump administration has formally notified the United Nations of its withdrawal from the World Health Organization, although the pullout won't take effect until next year, meaning it could be rescinded under a new administration or if circumstances change. Former U.S. vice-president Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, said he would reverse the decision on his first day in office if elected.


The withdrawal notification, delivered on Monday, makes good on U.S. President Donald Trump's vow in late May to terminate U.S. participation in the WHO, which he has harshly criticized for its response to the coronavirus pandemic and accused of bowing to Chinese influence.




   

미국, 편향 차이나 세계보건기구(WHO) 공식 탈퇴 통보 


   미국이 마찰을 빚어온 세계보건기구(WHO) 탈퇴를 공식 통보했다고 외신들이 7일(현지시간) 보도했다.


도널드 트럼프 미국 대통령이 신종 코로나바이러스 감염증(코로나19) 대유행을 두고 중국 책임론과 함께 WHO가 중국 편향적이라는 강한 불만을 표시해온 상황에서 기구 탈퇴라는 극약 처방을 결국 실행에 옮긴 것이다.

The move was immediately assailed by health officials and critics of the administration, including numerous Democrats who said it would cost the U.S. influence in the global arena.




Biden has said in the past he supports the WHO and pledged Tuesday to rejoin if he defeats Trump in November. "Americans are safer when America is engaged in strengthening global health. On my first day as president, I will rejoin the WHO and restore our leadership on the world stage," he said.


Trump is trailing Biden in multiple polls and has sought to deflect criticism of his administration's handling of the virus by aggressively attacking China and the WHO.
