On Trump's first day, he announced that the US would withdraw from the WHO, significantly affecting the UN. As WHO's top funder, the US contributed $1.2bn in 2022-2023.
The UN refrained from criticising Trump but noted that the funding gap would increase pressure on other donors. Elise Stefanik, Trump’s UN ambassador nominee suggested withholding UN funding as a potential action.
Analysts believe the UN is more prepared for Trump but acknowledge that the current geopolitical climate is more unstable than in 2017.
Trump's approach this time is faster and more aggressive.

Al Jazeera’s Gabriel Elizondo reports from the UN headquarters, in New York.
