Trump Administration Slammed Over Controversial Order Targeting US Public Health Officials

Share news:

Donald Trump’s actions as the 47th president of the United States are quickly stacking up, and not everyone is happy about them. In just his first week in office, his latest move is causing quite a stir—and raising eyebrows among journalists and political experts alike.

On Monday, the Associated Press reported that Trump has ordered U.S. public health officials to stop working with the World Health Organization (WHO) immediately. This decision has left many experts scratching their heads. According to reports, the sudden halt could delay important work to fight diseases like the Marburg virus and mpox in Africa, as well as disrupt global efforts to monitor rising health threats. To make matters worse, health authorities are also keeping an eye on bird flu outbreaks among U.S. livestock, which adds another layer of concern.

What Experts Are Saying

Critics are quick to call out the potential consequences of this decision. Former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan didn’t hold back, calling it “Self-destructive insanity” on social media.

Political scientist John Pelissero, from Santa Clara University, said it’s “not surprising that Trump is back with an uncaring approach to public health,” adding that public health is “not a policy area for disrupters.”

David E. Hoffman, a contributing editor at the Washington Post, offered a sarcastic take: “Sure, everyone drinking up detergent will stop the next pandemic. Brilliant.”

A Growing Divide

As these orders continue to unfold, it’s clear that Trump’s approach to leadership is sparking a fierce debate. Some are questioning whether his moves are beneficial in the long run, especially when it comes to public health and global cooperation. What do you think? Could this be a step backward, or is there more to the story than meets the eye? Let us know your thoughts!
