The populist deputy prime minister of one of Europe’s largest economies has suggested following in the footsteps of President Donald J. Trump and leading his country out of the World Health Organization (WHO). Italy’s deputy prime minister, Matteo Salvini, introduced the bill to withdraw Italy from WHO late Thursday.
“This morning, the League presented its bill to LEAVE the WHO (World Health Organization), as the United States did with Donald Trump,” Salvini wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter). He continued: “Italy no longer has to deal with a supranational power center – handsomely funded by Italian taxpayers – that goes hand in hand with multinational pharmaceutical companies.”

He added: “Let’s use those 100 million to support the sick in Italy and fund our hospitals and doctors!”
The proposal from Salvini follows recent financial constraints at the WHO, partly due to the U.S. withdrawal, which accounted for about 15 percent of the agency’s funding. The WHO’s budget for the 2024-2025 period is set at $6.83 billion.
Salvini criticized the WHO as a supranational entity funded by Italian taxpayers and suggested reallocating Italy’s $105 million contribution to local healthcare services. However, Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, an ally of Donald Trump who attended the presidential inauguration, has not commented on Salvini’s proposal.
The U.S. decision to leave the WHO has been met with criticism from other international figures. Germany’s health minister, Karl Lauterbach, expressed hopes of persuading Trump to reverse the decision, claiming it detrimental to global health crisis management.
CHINESE INFLUENCE.
The WHO, however, is deeply connected with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), with current WHO head Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus being accused of selling out his native Ethiopia to the CCP while serving as the country’s foreign minister in 2013.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Tedros publicly denied the theory that the virus was leaked from a research lab in Wuhan, China. However, in 2022, it later emerged that in private, he had confided to a senior European politician that he thought the lab leak theory was the most likely explanation for the outbreak.
