According to the CNN, the Trump administration has withdrawn from more than ten international agreements since 2017. The areas include trade, environment, military and arms control, human rights, and public health.    

Withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO) is the most recent one.

The U.S. has started its formal withdrawal process from WHO on July 6, 2020, after giving a one-year written notification to the Secretary-General of the United Nations.

The withdrawal decision came after Trump accused the WHO of mishandling the COVID-19 pandemic and blamed them for the crisis in the U.S. Trump said alleges the organization spent too much time focused on the outbreak in China and not the United States, according to the NPR.

A U.N. spokesman has confirmed that the withdrawal will be effective in next July once the U.S. had paid off the balance of its assessed financial obligations. As of June 30, the U.S. had an outstanding balance of $198 million in current and past membership dues.

"The Trump administration's official withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO) puts the health of our country at grave risk," the American Medical Association said in a statement.

As of Wednesday, the number of U.S. COVID-19 cases has surpassed three million with over 130,000 deaths.

In May, the U.S. has announced to withdraw from the Open Skies Treaty (OST), a 35-nation agreement to avoid military conflicts by allowing unarmed monitoring flights over each other's territory.  

This move was due to the U.S.'s accusation that Russia failed to offer full OST benefits to members.  

But many policy makers in the U.S. believed that the costs of withdrawal from the treaty outweigh the risks of remaining, according to The Washington Post.

The World Trade Organization (WTO) and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) are also under withdrawal threats from the U.S.

The U.S. Congress plans to vote on resolutions to withdraw from the WTO in late July.

Sen. Josh Hawley told the POLITICO that the WTO has not provided enough protections on American industries and they have seen millions of American jobs moving overseas. "We should abandon the WTO and work with free nations to build a new international system that actually puts American workers first,"he added.

In addition, Trump has approved the reduction of U.S. troops in Germany in July. 

He has long complained that the NATO has heavily relied on the U.S. funding and other members fail to contribute reasonable portion to the organization and he also threatened to pull out of the NATO since 2018.
