TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — President Trump on Friday (May 29) heavily criticized the World Health Organization (WHO) for being contaminated by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and announced that the U.S. will withdraw from this unhealthy organization. It's a huge shock for the global community and will surely alter the world order.

Alternatively, the U.S. may seek to establish a new global health system, perhaps calling it the World Health Center (WHC).

In an association without CPP involvement, Taiwan could be an important partner in global public health. In fact, the U.S. has long been considering withdrawing from this international organization that is infiltrated by the CCP.

President Trump has already set a precedent for sudden exits from global endeavors. As soon as he was elected, he withdrew from the 2015 Paris Climate Change Agreement.
