Listen Later

The World Health Organization helps to protect and maintain the health of the world's population. It receives about 10 percent of its budget from the United States. President Donald Trump, however, doesn't see a lot of value in its work, signing an executive order Monday to withdraw America from the membership of the agency.

He called the organization "corrupt" and has accused it of taking more from the U.S. than it gives.

We discuss the future of global health without America at the table of one of its greatest proponents.
