Trump made the announcement while addressing the Board of Peace at its meeting on Thursday, stating that the Board of Peace - which he founded and controls - is "showing how a better future can be built." "I want to let you know that the United States is going to make a contribution of $10 billion to the Board of Peace," he said. "We've had great support for that number. And that number is a very small number when you look at that compared to the cost of war. That's two weeks of fighting."
The U.S. has finalized its withdrawal from the World Health Organization, one year after President Donald Trump announced America was ending its 78-year-old commitment, federal officials said Thursday. But it's hardly a clean break. The U.S. owes more than $130 million to the global health agency, according to WHO. And Trump administration officials acknowledge that they haven't finished working out some issues, such as lost access to data from other countries that could give America an early warning of a new pandemic.
