Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Wednesday announced that the U.S. will shell out $200 million to the World Health Organization (WHO) by the end of the month -- as the Biden administration seeks to reengage with the controversial organization after the Trump administration moved to withdraw. REUTERS/Tom Brenner/File PhotoNEW YORK (Reuters) - The United States will pay more than $200 million it owes to the World Health Organization by the end of the month, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken told the U.N. Security Council on Wednesday. The pulling of funding was significant, as the U.S. accounted for about a quarter of the annual fees the WHO assesses to all its 194 members. Biden reversed the Trump administrations policy on his first day in office, saying the U.S. intends to remain a member. "Today, I'm pleased to confirm that by the end of the month, the United States intends to pay over $200 million in assessed and current obligations to the WHO," Blinken said at a U.N. Security Council meeting.
