President Javier Milei's decision echoes that of his ally, U.S. President Donald Trump, who began the process of pulling the United States out of WHO with an executive order on his first day back in office on Jan.

The reason behind the decision echoes similar narratives made by the U.S., including the allegations that WHO “lacked the independence from the political influence of other states.”

Argentina will pull out of the World Health Organization (WHO), the presidential spokesperson Manuel Adorni said on Wednesday, following President Donald Trump's executive order last month to pull the United States out of the global health group.
