Trump's WHO decision raises bipartisan concerns in House

Trump's decision to withdraw from the World Health Organization (WHO) has raised concerns among a number of top House lawmakers on both sides of the aisle as the U.S. grapples with a rising death toll from COVID-19.

The administration announced the decision - slated to go into effect on July 6, 2021 - on Tuesday after months of slamming the WHO's initial handling of the coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan, China.

Democrats argue that the decision could have a negative impact on the global response to COVID-19 as countries look to coordinate on a potential vaccine.

"The President's official withdrawal of the U.S. from the World Health Organization is an act of true senselessness as @WHO coordinates the global fight against COVID-19. With millions of lives at risk, the President is crippling the international effort to defeat the virus," Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) tweeted.

I imagine Senator Susan Collins is also concerned.
