President Javier Milei's decision echoes that of his ally, U.S. President Donald Trump, who began the process of pulling the United States out of WHO with an executive order on his first day back in office on Jan.

Argentina announced Wednesday that it will withdraw from the WHO, echoing former U.S. President Donald Trump's criticisms of the U.N.

The reason behind the decision echoes similar narratives made by the U.S., including the allegations that WHO “lacked the independence from the political influence of other states.”
