The United States formally withdrew from the World Health Organization, carrying out its threat to the United Nations, against the background of managing the Corona Virus Crisis, a US senator announced Tuesday.

"Congress has received notice that President of the United States Donald Trump has officially withdrawn the country from the World Health Organization in the midst of a pandemic," said Twitter Tweet by Senator Robert Menendez, the top Democrat on the Foreign Relations Committee.

"This will not protect the lives or interests of Americans," Menendez said in his tweet. "It is the decision that leaves Americans sick and America alone."

And the congressional decision, upon joining the organization in 1948, stipulated that the United States can exit from it after notification, provided that the American financial obligations are fully met for the organization's current fiscal year.

And last May, Trump issued a decision to end the relationship between the United States of America and the World Health Organization.

Trump said the United States decided to end its relationship with the World Health Organization, because it was an organization that had not done its proper job to tackle the new Corona virus.

The United States is the largest overall donor to the World Health Organization.
