(TheLastPatriotNews.com) – Just like President Donald Trump’s smart determination to exit from the World Health Organization (WHO), Argentinian President Javier Milei’s decision signals a growing rebellion against perceived inefficiencies and biases within the organization.
The Argentine government, led by President Milei, has announced plans to withdraw from the WHO, citing “deep differences regarding health management” during the COVID-19 pandemic.
This decision mirrors the actions of President Trump, who initiated a similar withdrawal during his tenure.
Manuel Adorni, spokesperson for President Milei, emphasized the government’s stance, stating, “We will not allow an international organization to intervene in our sovereignty, much less in our health.”
The exit is rooted in concerns over the WHO’s response to the pandemic and perceived Chinese influence.
Milei, an “anarcho-capitalist” known for admiring Trump, has been critical of the WHO and supports policies that enhance national sovereignty.
In turn, Trump has referred to Milei as his “favorite president,” highlighting the alignment between these two leaders.
Argentina’s decision to leave the WHO is partly influenced by its experience with a prolonged lockdown under the previous government.
The country criticizes WHO guidelines for leading to extensive shutdowns during the pandemic, which caused significant economic hardship.
While Argentina’s financial contribution to the WHO is relatively small compared to that of major donors like the U.S., this action could inspire other nations to follow suit.
If more countries withdraw, it could significantly impact the WHO’s operations and influence global health policies.
Meanwhile, Argentina argued that leaving the WHO will allow for more flexibility in health policy and financial management.
This move aligns with President Milei’s vision of reducing international intervention and prioritizing national interests.
As the country prepares to join the U.S. and Liechtenstein as the only UN members not part of the WHO, speculation grows about whether it will withdraw from other international bodies or treaties, including the Paris Climate Agreement.
Ultimately, Argentina’s bold stand against the WHO serves as a wake-up call to other nations frustrated with global health governance.
It highlights the need for international organizations to be more responsive to individual countries’ needs and concerns.
