One of the many executive orders Trump signed yesterday continues a process that he started back in 2020. In July of that year, Trump sent notice that he planned to have the US withdraw from the World Health Organization. However, the US is required to give one year notice before leaving. After Joe Biden won the 2020 election, he rescinded Trump's intent to withdraw on his first day in office, Jan. 20, 2021.
Now Trump is back in the Oval Office and he's putting the WHO on notice once again. The order itself cites two reasons for the withdrawal.
