Former US President Donald Trump hinted on Saturday that he might reconsider rejoining the World Health Organization (WHO).
Speaking at a rally in Las Vegas, Trump made the statement just days after initiating the United States’ withdrawal from the global health agency, citing its alleged mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic and other international health challenges.
“Maybe we would consider doing it again; I don’t know. Maybe we would. They would have to clean it up,” Trump said.
Following former President Donald Trump’s directive, the United States is set to officially withdraw from the World Health Organization (WHO) on January 22, 2026.
He announced the decision on Monday after being sworn in for a second term in the White House.

The U.S., the largest financial contributor to the WHO, currently provides approximately 18% of the organization’s total funding. Addressing a crowd in Las Vegas, he expressed dissatisfaction with the U.S. contributing more than China, despite its larger population.
In the same speech, he revealed plans to request a $1 trillion investment from Saudi Arabia, significantly increasing the $600 billion the kingdom had previously committed. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman recently informed Trump of Saudi Arabia’s intention to invest $600 billion in expanding trade and investment ties with the U.S. over the next four years.
