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.

Argentina will withdraw from the World Health Organisation, a spokesman for President Javier Milei said, just weeks after his ally, US President Donald Trump, announced he would again pull out of the global health alliance.

Argentina has announced it will pull out of the World Health Organization (WHO), mirroring a similar move by US President Donald Trump last month.
