Trump Lets Bosses Grab $400 Billion in Worker Pay – The American Prospect
Tag: United States
At the start of his second term, United States president Donald Trump
has again announced that the US will formally leave the World Health
Organization (WHO) in 2025. Leaving the WHO is a financial blow to the
Organization, as many have pointed out, but it is much more than that.

risk the capacity of the organization to perform its role as the global
health agency. The WHO has been central to responding to global
health emergencies for more than seven decades.
The Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development (FfD4) – due to be held next month in Sevilla– aims to drive forward critical reforms to the international financial architecture and to help close the significant financing gap for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, the fourth and final preparatory committee (PrepCom) meeting, held at the end of April at the UN headquarters in New York, revealed the remaining points of contention. As informal negotiations continue over the next few weeks, the journey promises to be challenging. Instead of the hoped-for final sprint towards an ambitious new global financing framework adopted by consensus, the road ahead resembles an obstacle race.
