美国正式退出世卫组织，世卫组织：把会费结清！

据央视新闻，去年1月20日，美国总统特朗普签署行政命令，宣布美国退出世卫组织，联合国于同年1月22日收到这一通知。

根据世卫组织章程，成员国在提交退出申请一年后方可正式退出。今天，美国正式向联合国提交退出世卫组织申请满一年，这意味着美国在程序上已正式退出世卫组织。

The United States is set to formally withdraw from the World Health Organization (WHO) in January. On his first day back in the White House on Jan 20, 2025, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order to withdraw the country from the WHO. The United Nations received the formal notice two days later.

Under the organization's charter, the withdrawal takes effect one year after notice is given.

世卫组织发言人林德迈尔日前明确表示，美国有权退出，但前提是必须结清此前拖欠的全部会费。目前，美国尚未支付2024年和2025年度应缴款项，两年合计约2.6亿美元。该问题已被正式列入即将召开的世卫组织执行委员会会议议程。

The United States has reserved its right to withdraw from WHO, but any withdrawal can only take place if it first fulfills its financial obligations for the current fiscal year, a WHO spokesman said Friday.

Christian Lindmeier, the spokesman, made the remarks in response to a media query as the United States is set to formally withdraw from the WHO in January.

"When it joined WHO, the United States of America reserved its right to withdraw from the organization on a one-year notice, provided, however, that the financial obligations of the United States to the organization shall be met in full for the organization's current fiscal year," said the spokesman.

Lindmeier said the United States had currently not paid its invoiced amounts for assessed contributions for 2024 to 2025. According to the WHO, the US owes the organization 260.6 million US dollars in dues for 2024 and 2025.
