The World Health Organization feared that the United States would be withdrawing and urged the Trump Administration to stay as they warned that the coronavirus pandemic was far from over.
During a press briefing, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that the pandemic is “accelerating, and we have clearly not reached the peak of the pandemic,” adding, "more than six months in, the case for national unity and global solidarity is undeniable. We cannot afford any divisions.”
Ghebreyesus failed to mention the deeper issues that the United States has with the WHO including their failure to identify the dangers of the virus early on and their efforts to cover China's back.

Check out what the Daily Wire reported:
The United States, however, has been reconsidering its membership in the WHO since early February, when suspicions arose among Trump administration officials that WHO administrations may have conspired with Chinese officials to hide the origin of the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19 and may have helped the Chinese government conceal the extent of the pandemic within that country’s borders.
Later reports also seem to indicate that the WHO deliberately recast the novel coronavirus as largely harmless, tweeting in January that there was no proof the virus could be transmitted from human to human, although it was clear from the Chinese experience that the virus was highly contagious. In February, Dr. Ghebreyesus claimed that “the spread [of coronavirus] to other countries is minimal and slow,” and that Chinese efforts to contain the virus had been successful.
In recent days, Fox News reports, the WHO has been furiously recasting its narrative about the early days of the coronavirus pandemic, even going so far as to alter its official timeline on the matter, claiming now that it learned of the coronavirus from the Internet and not from health officials in Wuhan, where the global pandemic began.
The White House announced in April that it was looking to pull funding from the WHO, pending an investigation into the body’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic. The move triggered panic within the WHO’s ranks, particularly given that the United States supplies a significant percentage — more than $400 million — of the group’s operating budget. At one point, members of the WHO accused Taiwan of orchestrating an uprising among member nations based on racism — a claim Taiwan quickly and forcefully disputed.
In late May, the U.S. officially announced that it would cut ties with the WHO but did not set a timeline for withdrawal.
Tuesday’s announcement fulfills the Trump administration’s threat.
Democrats quickly fired back at the administration. Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) tweeted that “to call Trump’s response to COVID chaotic & incoherent doesn’t do it justice. This won’t protect American lives or interests — it leaves Americans sick & America alone.”
