I cheered as Trump announced his executive orders. Unfortunately, the WHO is just one of many international institutions with political agendas. The ICJ's obsession with Israel and the sins of colonialism or the ECHR's ever expanding activisism are other examples. The instiituions of the international order appear to be a collection of well remunerated middle class elites determined to impose their imagined view of the world on the rest of us.
They share in the Obama led Democrats' belief that they can define what is real - e.g numerous 'genders' - no matter the actual reality (wherein live the recalcitrant masses) - and Trump's victory is a massive rebuke to that as is 'drill baby drill' to the climate cultists.
Many of these institutions began with good intentions after two world wars but intentions do not determine outcomes and supporters of what has become a set of supranational agencies focus on those intentions and fail to see what they have become which are agents of democratic decline and undermining of nationhood. Trust in institutions is declining as we fumble to recover some sense of national identity.
For Starmer & co international law is a higher power and they bow before it in proportion to their lack of beiief and confidence in their own ability to govern. Brexit, and the taking of complete control and so responsibility, terrified them to the point of an amoral, anti-democratic panic. Yet, for us common folk it is the lack of support and nurture of nationhood that is terrifying.
So, three cheers for Trump even though he appears motivated by America's disproportionate cost burden - a bad deal - and not by any ideological critique. Still, right outcome no matter the motivation.
Is there ANY part of the United Nations which is beneficial to us in the West? Not UNWRA. Not the IPCC. And the soldiers in blue helmets keeping the peace don't seem to appear any longer.
Thank you for all that background. I have always these organisations like the WHO and the UN to be about as useful as a chocolate teapot. Now I find out about the political background of the WHO and find that I am correct.
Will Meloni allow Salvini to take Italy out of the WHO? She cosies up to Ursula Van De Leyen at the EU instead of exiting it.

Exactly!
Fingers crossed on Meloni - depends on the balance of pressure on her.

Yes - a venue for diplomatic discussion- could be more than a useful talking shop
