        "summary": "Argentina has formally withdrawn from the World Health Organisation (WHO), becoming the second country after the United States to do so under right-wing leadership. President Javier Milei's decision, confirmed by Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno on 17 March, is seen as political solidarity with US President Donald Trump and reflects criticism of the WHO's handling of the Covid-19 pandemic and alleged overreach into domestic affairs. Argentina will continue international health cooperation through bilateral channels and regional forums whilst asserting full sovereignty over its national health policy.",
