The GOP led House of Representatives Appropriations committee has released their annual State, Foreign Operations and Related Programs Appropriations Bill.
According to the bill, certain prominent organizations like the World Health Organization (WHO) and other United Nations-controlled entities will face defunding if the bill is passed by the House.
The new bill includes provisions that “prohibits funds for other controversial organizations and programs, such as UNFPA, the World Health Organization, and the Gender Equity and Equality Action Fund.”

Per the document released by the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Appropriations, the proposed national budget for fiscal year 2024 explicitly “prohibits funds for other controversial organizations and programs, such as UNFPA, the World Health Organization, and the Gender Equity and Equality Action Fund.”
The specific impetus for this proposal appears to be the WHO’s recent declaration of censorship war on “misinformation” due to what it has termed an “infodemic.” “The infodemic can directly impact health, hamper the implementation of public health countermeasures and undermine trust and social cohesiveness. Infodemic cannot be eliminated it can only be managed. This is why WHO and partners have developed the approach of infodemic management which encompasses Risk Communication and Community Engagement adding additional tools and approaches to manage it more efficiently in the 21st century,” per the organization.
“I had written a letter to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy to move forward with cutting the WHO’s funding in appropriations and in his role as speaker. I’m glad to see it did come out of the appropriations committee, but we’ve got to follow it through to make sure it passes,” Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) told public health advocacy group Children’s Health Defense regarding the proposals.
In the last year of his presidency, Trump successfully cut the WHO off — only to have his decision reversed once the Brandon entity assumed power.
It’s worth noting that President Trump previously withdrew the United States from the World Health Organization (WHO), which is yet another reason they relentlessly try to “get Trump”.
