Donald Trump halts WHO's funding over handling of Coronavirus

that Latasha focus over to the United
States as US president all Donald Trump has
temporarily halted funding to the World
Health Organization over its handling of
the coronavirus pandemic this as Donald Trump
accused the UN agency of promoting a
disinformation campaign by China Donald Trump
has accused the whu-oh of downplaying
the coronavirus threat by opposing
travel restrictions to China the US
president said that the w-h-o failed in
its basic duty and must be held
accountable the United States is the
biggest overall donor to the
geneva-based organization last year the
US has contribution of more than 400
million dollars accounted for 15% of the
w-h-o s budget, however, Donald Trump has been
increasingly critical of the
organization as the global health crisis
continued he has accused it of being too
lenient with China in the early days of
the pandemic causing unnecessary death
today I'm instructing my administration
to halt funding of the World Health
Organization while a review is conducted
to assess the World Health
Organization's role in severely
mismanaging and covering up the spread
of the coronavirus, everybody knows
what's going on there American taxpayers
provide between 400 million and 500
million dollars per year to the
w-h-o in contrast China contributes
roughly 40 million dollars a year and
even less as the organization's leading
sponsor the United States has a duty to
insist on full accountability one of the
most dangerous and costly decisions from
the WHL was its disastrous decision to
oppose travel restrictions from China
and other nations they were very much
opposed to what we did fortunately I was
not convinced and suspended travel from
China saving untold numbers of lives
thousands and thousands of people would
have died
