President Donald Trump has formally moved to withdraw the US from the World Health Organization (WHO).

特朗普總統(tǒng)在5月下旬就明確表示了他的意圖。他不顧歐盟和其他國家的呼吁，表示美國將撤出這個聯(lián)合國機構(gòu)，并將資金投入到其他機構(gòu)。

He has now notified the UN and Congress of his intentions, although the process could take at least a year.

他已通知聯(lián)合國和美國國會，美國正式退出世衛(wèi)組織，不過這個過程可能需要至少一年的時間。

"It leaves Americans sick and America alone."

一位美國政府高級官員告訴哥倫比亞廣播公司新聞頻道，美國已經(jīng)詳細說明了希望世衛(wèi)組織進行的改革，并與之直接接觸，但世衛(wèi)組織拒絕采取行動。

"Because they have failed to make the requested and greatly needed reforms, we will be today terminating our relationship," the official was quoted as saying.

The US is the global health agency's largest single contributor, providing more than $400m in 2019, around 15% of its total budget.

美國是世衛(wèi)組織最大的單一捐助國，在2019年向世衛(wèi)組織提供了4億多美元（約合人民幣28億元），約占其總預(yù)算的15%。

Under a Congress resolution in 1948, the US can withdraw but must give a year's notice and should pay outstanding fees, although it is unclear where Mr Trump stands on that. Mr Dujarric stressed that those conditions should be met.

根據(jù)美國國會1948年的一項決議，美國可以退出世衛(wèi)組織，但必須提前一年通知，并付清未付費用，盡管目前還不清楚特朗普總統(tǒng)對此的立場。迪雅里克強調(diào)美國應(yīng)滿足這些條件。

outstanding[a?t?st?nd??] adj.：未償付的

The withdrawal will call into question the WHO's financial viability and the future of its many programs promoting healthcare and tackling disease.

美國的退出將使人們對世衛(wèi)組織的財務(wù)可行性以及其促進醫(yī)療保健和應(yīng)對疾病的許多項目的未來產(chǎn)生疑問。

Then in late May he said: "We will be terminating our relationship with the World Health Organization and directing those funds" to other global public health charities.

他隨后在5月底表示：“我們將終止與世衛(wèi)組織的關(guān)系，并將資金轉(zhuǎn)用于”其他全球公共衛(wèi)生慈善機構(gòu)。

Other countries, including Germany and the UK, have said they have no intention of withdrawing funding from the WHO, which is co-ordinating a global initiative to develop a vaccine against Covid-19

包括德國和英國在內(nèi)的其他國家表示，他們無意撤回對世衛(wèi)組織的資金支持。世衛(wèi)組織正在協(xié)調(diào)開發(fā)新冠肺炎疫苗的一項全球行動。
