President Donald Trump, upon assuming office, signed several executive orders, temporarily halting nearly all US global health funding, including the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), created by former President George Bush in 2003 to combat HIV/AIDS worldwide.

The action originates from President Trump’s executive order on foreign aid, which he signed on his first day in office last Monday.

Mr Trump signed the executive order on Monday, directing the United States to withdraw from WHO.
