A spokesperson for Milei cited "deep differences" relating to health policies during the pandemic as the main reason for this decision. Notably, both leaders share a mutual admiration, with Milei calling Trump's potential re-election "the greatest political comeback in history.” Despite Argentina’s considerably smaller financial contribution to the WHO, questions about the impact on WHO's credibility loom if other countries echo this exit trend.
Moreover, Milei’s administration views the move as a means to reclaim sovereignty, allowing Argentina more control over its health policies. The spokesman emphasized a commitment to prevent foreign interference in domestic affairs. Environmental advocates express concerns about potential withdrawal from other critical treaties, including the Paris climate agreement. As this political drama unfolds, observers are left questioning which international affiliations will come under scrutiny next.
