Trump cuts ties with WHO

Post by Black Orchid » Sat May 30, 2020 2:39 pm

US President Donald Trump says the United States is “terminating” its relationship with the World Health Organisation.

Speaking from the Rose Garden of the White House on Friday (local time), Mr Trump accused the UN agency of failing to enact reforms in the face of US concerns over its handling of the coronavirus pandemic and that it put too much faith in information from China.

Mr Trump said Chinese officials “ignored” their reporting obligations to the WHO and pressured them into misleading the world when the virus was first discovered.

Mr Trump said the WHO had failed to make reforms to the organisation that he had demanded in a May 18 letter to WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.

That letter had given the WHO 30 days to commit to reforms.

Let China fund their own puppet. China only pays $40 million per year yet the US pays $450 million per year.

Trump said the US will be redirecting those funds to other worldwide and deserving urgent global public health needs. :thumb
