Controversy as Trump congratulates Kim Jong Un on North Korea's WHO entry

Former President Donald Trump congratulated North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on the appointment of Dr. Jong Min Pak to the executive board of the World Health Organization (WHO) on his social media platform Truth Social. The move allows North Korea to have a say in determining the WHO's agenda and policy prescriptions. South Korea criticized the decision, citing North Korea's history of ignoring policies put forward by the WHO and the United Nations. The WHO serves as a specialized agency of the United Nations, monitoring public health risks and overseeing responses to emergencies.
