WASHINGTON, D.C. – The President and CEO of the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition, Liz Schrayer, released the following statement on the announcement of the termination of the U.S. relationship with the World Health Organization (WHO):
Ending America’s relationship with the World Health Organization simply doesn’t make sense in the midst of a global pandemic, especially when the WHO operates where no one else is, in fragile health systems around the world. This is a deadly virus that will certainly come back to our shores.
It is critical to drive reform, transparency, and accountability at the WHO, and American leadership is essential to protect our interests and to avoid ceding influence to others.
Since 1995, the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition (USGLC.org) has been bringing together bipartisan political, military, business, farmer, faith, nonprofit, and community leaders from across the country to advocate on the strategic imperative of American leadership for advancing our own security, prosperity, and values. We believe that smart investments in international assistance and diplomacy, alongside defense, can make the world safer and America stronger.
