Executive Order 14155, titled "Withdrawing the United States from the World Health Organization", is an executive order signed by United States president Donald Trump on January 20, 2025, during the first day of his second presidential term. The order directed the withdrawal of the United States from the World Health Organization (WHO).
This executive order marked the second time the United States had ordered its withdrawal from the WHO.
The United States formally left the WHO on January 22, 2026. Shortly thereafter, the Trump administration proposed to spend $2 billion per year to duplicate the kinds of global disease surveillance systems that it helped build and accessed at a fraction of the cost through its WHO membership.
