On January 22, 2026, the United States officially ended its long-standing membership with the World Health Organization (WHO), a move initiated by President Donald Trump via Executive Order 14155.
2026年1月22日,美國正式終止了其與世界衛生組織(World Health Organization,以下簡稱WHO)長期以來的成員關係,此舉由美國總統唐納·川普(Donald Trump)透過第14155號行政命令所發動。
The U.S. government justified the withdrawal by citing concerns over the organization's governance, alleged mismanagement during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the belief that the U.S. carried an unfair financial burden.
美國政府以擔憂該組織的治理問題、在COVID-19疫情期間的管理不善,以及認為美國承擔了不公平的財務負擔為由,為其撤出進行辯解。
This withdrawal has triggered a severe financial crisis for the agency, leading to a significant budget reduction and the elimination of nearly 3,000 staff positions.
此次撤資引發了該機構嚴重的財務危機,導致預算大幅削減,並裁減了近3,000個工作職位。
While individual American scientists continue to contribute in technical capacities, the lack of formal U.S. involvement represents a major shift in global health governance, leaving experts concerned about the world's ability to effectively respond to future health emergencies.
儘管個別的美國科學家仍以技術身份繼續貢獻,但缺乏美國的正式參與,代表全球衛生治理的重大轉變,令專家們對於世界有效應對未來衛生緊急狀況的能力感到憂心。
