buenos aires, argentina - Argentina announces its departure from the World Health Organization following the US decision.
Argentina Leaves World Health Organization
Argentina has decided to exit the World Health Organization, following the recent move by the US President Donald Trump to withdraw from the international organization. The decision comes as part of a broader review by the Argentine government to potentially leave multiple international institutions. The cost of membership and perceived lack of benefits are cited as reasons behind the move.
The country is currently led by President Javier Milei, a self-proclaimed anarcho-capitalist who is considered an ally of Trump. Trump has previously referred to Milei as his 'favorite president'. Milei even attended the inauguration of his American counterpart.
