根據NBCNewsews與The hill報導,美國已經通知聯合國秘書長和國會正式退出WHO,而退出WHO需要一年的時間才會正式生效,這段期間川普是否會反悔還有變數。 新澤西州參議員在推特表示,國會已經正式收到政府要退出WHO的通知,川普不但對COVID-19疫情舉棋不定,退出WHO的舉動也無法保護美國人的生命與利益,只會讓美國被孤立。 Congress received notification that POTUS officially withdrew the U.S. from the @WHO in the midst of a pandemic.To call Trump’s response to COVID chaotic & incoherent doesn't do it justice. This won't protect American lives or interests—it leaves Americans sick & America alone.— Senator Bob Menendez (@SenatorMenendez) July 7, 2020 川普政府此行為結束了數個月的退出威脅,川普稱其(WHO)傾向中國,並且對冠狀病毒的反應慢半拍。
