Donald Trump wants an American in charge of the WHO

, 4 news, 2 views

Weeks after US President Donald Trump signed an executive order pulling the US out of the membership of the World Health Organisation (WHO), the White House is developing a plan to remain a member of the global health agency.

The demands include big reforms at the World Health Organisation, and putting an American in charge of the UN health agency.

Trump has suggested the US could return if the WHO was "cleaned up," without providing details on what that would require. The reform proposal has been under discussion since before Trump took office, but it is not clear whether his administration will adopt any of its other recommendations, the two sources said.
