WHO Announces ‘Significant’ Layoffs Three Months After President Trump Halts US Funding

  • Three months after President Donald Trump did the world a solid and signed an executive order withdrawing the United States from the World Health Organization (WHO) – they’re now suffering from a ‘large salary gap’ and have ‘no choice but to reduce the scale of our work and workforce’ with ‘significant’ layoffs, according to AFP, citing director Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
  • According to Tedros, “The refusal of the US to pay its assessed contributions for 2024 and 2025, combined with reductions in official development assistance by some other countries, means we are facing a salary gap for the 2026–27 biennium of between $560 and $650 million.”
