Javier Milei announces Argentina to leave World Health Organization [View all]
Argentina’s president, Javier Milei, has followed Donald Trump’s example and announced that Argentina will also leave the World Health Organization (WHO).
Milei attributed his decision to the WHO’s management of the Covid-19 pandemic, which he described as a “caveman quarantine that involved … one of the most outlandish crimes against humanity in history”.
