President Trump said Saturday he was weighing possibly rejoining the World Health Organization just days after signing an executive order withdrawing the United States from the international group.
“Maybe we would consider doing it again, I don’t know, they have to clean it up a bit,” the president said at a rally in Las Vegas.
Trump, a longtime critic of the global body, threw out the possibility to a crowd while bemoaning that the US pays more than its fair share, contrasting the $500 million the US doles out compared to China, who he said pays just $39 million despite its much larger population of roughly 1.4 billion.
Trump thanked the packed crowd for helping deliver him a landslide win in November.
“I just came here because I wanted thank the people of Nevada for giving us such a big win,” he said.
The president vowed to bring down inflation and boosting wages to put more money in Americans pockets, in addition to restoring law and order and closing the border.
“This week alone I took nearly 350 executive actions to reverse the horrible failures and betrayals that were inherited from a group of people that didn’t know what the hell they were doing,” the president said.
